OS: AIX 4.3.3 (All latest patches) Samba: 2.0.7 Compiler: IBM C/C++ 3.6.6 Just a question about restarting smbd using swat. I use to set up a loop to kill -9 all the ?mbd's and restart samba for changes to take effect. I've noticed some strange behavior - especially with Office 2K Premium - that if I have Word open and I restart samba through SWAT, Word dies and displays a message about an I/O error 0xc00000c4. I get other programs to die as well (NFS Maestro, etc), but without the glamorous exit - just dead. In addition to that, my H: drive now has a totally different content - what used to be my /home/userid space now points to the root directory (/). I also have some wierd log entries, they don't look right to me...B: [2000/05/23 18:01:15 bt32110 (151.103.22.50) closed connection to service f2ksh r , 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt305in (151.103.22.144) closed connection to service staatgra [2000/05/23 18:01:15, [12000/05/23 18:01:15] , smbd/service.c1:] close_cnum[smbd /service.c(2000/05/23 18:01:15583, ) :1close_cnum] ( bt32104 (151.103.22.44) closed connection to service sz295052 583smbd/service.c) :close_cnum(583 bt32124 (151.103.22.64) closed connection to service common ) hu14509 (151.103.22.174) closed connection to service share [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32102 (151.103.22.42) closed connection to service common [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32116 (151.103.22.56) closed connection to service btc321l2 [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32310 (151.103.22.75) closed connection to service btc323l2 [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt204in (151.103.21.96) closed connection to service share [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt323in (151.103.22.65) closed connection to service btc323l2 [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32101 (151.103.22.41) closed connection to service share [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32121 (151.103.22.61) closed connection to service f2kshr [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(583) bt32111 (151.103.22.51) closed connection to service cm279774 [2000/05/23 18:01:15, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) smbd version 2.0.7 started.
