[Samba] OSX causing multiple CLOSE_WAIT's

[Ed Kasky]

Lately it never fails when I attach a Mac running OSX 10.5 that I get 
runaway pid's.  I tracked them down so far to multiple close_wait's:

# /usr/sbin/lsof | grep pbg5mac
smbd      24876      root    6u     IPv4   80015755  TCP 
yoda.wrenkasky.com:netbios-ssn->pbg5mac.wrenkasky.com:49381 (CLOSE_WAIT)

They can grow to over 100 if I don't catch it or nobody can log on anymore ;-)

Anybody had any problems with Macs using samba?

Ed
