samba - Oct 2001 - Memory problem

Hi,

Unfortunatelly I'm new in linux, and therefore it can be a very basic
question.
I use my Samba started from shell (not from inetd daemon) and everyday after the
Cron was running (but also without Cron started) I get the message "Out of
memory: Killed process XXX (smbd)" in the var/log/messages file, and of
course
my Samba is down.
How should I start my Samba (with shell command: smbd -D and nmbd -D) not to get
this message and not to make my samba down?

Thanks:

Feri

you have a virtual memory shortage, or a 2.4.10 kernel...
what size is your swap+RAM?
what does 'uname -a' tells you?
