It seems that since 1.9.18 that I have this problem. smbstatus will work for the first few lines just fine but the list of the files isn't right. It just runs on and on... like below: Samba version 1.9.18p3 Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- lewism lewism group 14658 occ28693 (204.168.58.162) Mon Feb 23 10:35:38 1998 occinfo lewism occinfo 14658 occ28693 (204.168.58.162) Mon Feb 23 10:35:38 1998 public cameronk group 1451 occ28986 (198.242.214.219) Mon Feb 23 08:59:11 1998 public ellingwd group 2293 occ28596 (198.242.213.236) Mon Feb 23 09:05:36 1998 Locked files: Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------- 65535 EXCLUSIVE Wed Dec 31 19:08:28 1969 198 NONE Mon Mar 23 04:42:00 1970 44 NONE Sat Jan 3 03:26:38 1970 65535 DENY_DOS RDONLY NONE Wed Jan 23 10:21:31 2013 0 DENY_DOS EXCLUSIVE+BATCH Sat Tue 1 20:33:13 1936 65535 EXCLUSIVE+BATCH Fri Jan 26 13:21:03 1990 65535 NONE Sun Apr 12 06:16:16 1970 hundreds or more lines like these then Memory fault core dump. The system is SCO 5.0.2. Compiled with the Skunkworks97 gcc compiler.
