Hello, After upgrading to samba 2.2.2 (was using 2.2.1a) installed from the ports collection in FreeBSD, I noticed this error on the testparm output. ERROR: the 'max smbd processes' parameter is set and the 'status' parameter is set to 'no'. But, status is not set on my smb.conf file. When I added the "status = yes" parameter, it still had the same error. Attached is my full testparm output.
