Hello,

I've compiled Samba 4.7 from repository using a Debian 9 machine and I've
noticed that the system started to create zombie processes of samba:

# ps aux |grep "Z"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root       502  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    13:01   0:00 [samba]

I've got more than 300 samba zombie processes last time, but I don't know
what's the problem.
I've the same samba version compiled on a Debian 8 machine and is working
fine.

someone had a simiar problem?

Thanks!!
