Andre,
On NT TSE you need to set a registry setting called 'multiple users on
connection'. This gives every user it's own daemon despite of being on
the same machine. The samba source comes with a .reg file to do that. Please
take a close look at the
documentation.
I am not sure if this information is in the samba rpm packages.

Subject: NT terminal server
Classification:
I'm running a NT4.0 Terminal Server with 50+ peopleon it.? All the
users' home directories / data etc. is located on a samba server (2.2.1a)
on a RedHat7.1 box.
All the users on the server are shown in samba under the same connection as
they're all on the same machine... this means samba only runs one copy of
smb for all these users.
Everything seems to be working / set up fine but about twice a day the smb
process associated with the terminal server jumps to 100% cpu usage and stops
accepting connections.? When I kill this process / restart samba everything
returns to normal but
the users then report all kinds of funny "corruption", locking errors
etc. on the files that were in use.
Has anybody else tried to use samba in conjunction with terminal server?? Is
there a way to change smb so it rather spawns one copy per "user" in
stead of per "machine"?? Am I missing the point completely?
The server is a Intel P3, 1Ghz, 512Mb RAM, SCSI Disks.? The hardware seems
fine. I'm using linux kernel version 2.4.2.
Any help would be highly appreciated. This is starting to make me look like a
tit as I boasted that the samba server would run much more stable than NT and
this is now not the case.? Before I was running NT4.0 on a P2,350Mhz, 128Mb RAM
and IDE disks
for the same users and had no such problems.
Any Ideas?
Andre
