No matter what samba command (smbstart , smbpasswd, smbstatus etc etc) we execute we now get 100's of these messages '_mcount: too many profiled procedures'. They just started pooping up a week ago for no apparent reason that I know of. Running on hpux 11.11. Samba version 3.0.2b. Tried 3.0.24...same thing. John Hosanna KinderMorgan,Inc. 713-369-9016
