Hi, Recently we upgraded most of our copies of samba to 2.2.2 and since then have noticed an inordinate amount of processes dying on one of our main boxes. The box runs Freebsd 4.1 stable and only since samba was upgraded did these problems occur. Is there a patch or configuration file directive that can fix this? any help greatly appreciated. Joe ps. needless to say syslog keeps going :) however from an outside perspective the shares work fine. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 7 14:36:12 slug /kernel: pid 45241 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:14 slug /kernel: pid 45243 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:15 slug /kernel: pid 45246 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:17 slug /kernel: pid 45297 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:17 slug /kernel: pid 45270 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:19 slug /kernel: pid 45310 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:28 slug /kernel: pid 45356 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:33 slug /kernel: pid 45367 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:37 slug /kernel: pid 45384 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:40 slug /kernel: pid 45392 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:41 slug /kernel: pid 45395 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:36:50 slug /kernel: pid 45411 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:03 slug /kernel: pid 45433 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:04 slug /kernel: pid 45435 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:06 slug /kernel: pid 45436 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:10 slug /kernel: pid 45457 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:15 slug /kernel: pid 45459 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:18 slug /kernel: pid 45469 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:23 slug /kernel: pid 45478 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:23 slug /kernel: pid 45484 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:37 slug /kernel: pid 45498 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:45 slug /kernel: pid 45509 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:37:59 slug /kernel: pid 45535 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:09 slug /kernel: pid 45550 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:09 slug /kernel: pid 45569 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:19 slug /kernel: pid 45581 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:20 slug /kernel: pid 45592 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:31 slug /kernel: pid 45602 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:37 slug /kernel: pid 45609 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:42 slug /kernel: pid 45628 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:38:51 slug /kernel: pid 45638 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:13 slug /kernel: pid 45704 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:13 slug /kernel: pid 45707 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:22 slug /kernel: pid 45736 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:24 slug /kernel: pid 45743 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:35 slug /kernel: pid 45771 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:35 slug /kernel: pid 45772 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:36 slug /kernel: pid 45773 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:36 slug /kernel: pid 45778 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 Jan 7 14:39:36 slug /kernel: pid 45775 (smbd), uid 65534: exited on signal 6 ---------------------------------------------------------- "Winston, if I were your wife, I would put poison in your coffee."
