We are seeing this error in the logs every minute -
[2014/07/23 16:40:59.829260, 2, pid=13355]
../source3/smbd/server.c:437(remove_child_pid)
Could not find child 19021 -- ignoring
I know there is an old bug/fix -
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8269
smb.conf entries related to printer and printcap (disabled) -
load printers = no
printcap name = /dev/null
printcap cache time = 0
log level = 2
We want the log level to be 2. I see that the code - in Samba 4.1.9
if (child == NULL) {
/* not all forked child processes are added to the children
list */
DEBUG(2, ("Could not find child %d -- ignoring\n",
(int
)pid));
return;
}
Question - Given the log level we want, how can we prevent these errors in
the log? Did I miss disabling printer/printcap completely? How do we stop
forking these untracked processes?
Asides this - is Samba 4.1X still using source3 code base?
Any help in this is appreciated,
Regards.
