-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have basically a woody install running Samba, looking after a home network with (when I am not there) one windows client connected occassionally
I went away on business on Monday morning when I left it (On Sunday evening before I went to bed) running with Samba quiescent. This evening, I have 429 copies of nmbd shown in pstree as a child of init, and one copy of nmbd as a child of another (as child of init). Anyone ideas where they all came from and how to stop it happening again (I have experienced it before occassionally) My log is full of lines like this - -- [2002/01/28 14:22:21, 0] lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(88) ERROR: nmbd is already running. File /var/state/samba/nmbd.pid exists and process id 5313 is running. [2002/01/28 14:22:21, 0] param/loadparm.c:set_server_role(3277) Server's Role (logon server) conflicts with share-level security [2002/01/28 14:22:21, 0] nmbd/asyncdns.c:start_async_dns(150) started asyncdns process 14111 [2002/01/28 14:22:21, 0] lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(88) ERROR: nmbd is already running.
