Dear "someone who can help", I am having a problem with SAMBA and SWAT (although I'm not sure SWAT is part of the problem...) I get two instances of "smbd" when ever it is started on this system. From SWAT I can only stop it ONE time. After that, each time I attempt to stop the SMBD daemon from SWAT it simply starts TWO more instances of the daemon (or something to that affect.) Below you can see the results of my trying to stop the "smbd" daemon multiple times from SWAT. I don't know where to look for the cause. I start the Samba daemons by using the: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh file. I do not use INETD at all. I have had this problem since Samba ver: 2.2.2_1. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! -Ben ----- Just rebooted the File Server Note the items marked with an astrick "*" in the "ps -ax" listing... installer@apache$ installer@apache$ installer@apache$ uname -a FreeBSD apache 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Fri Mar 8 19:23:14 EST 2002 installer@apache.site.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/APACHE02 i386 installer@apache$ installer@apache$ /usr/local/sbin/smbd -V Version 2.2.3a installer@apache$ installer@apache$ ps -ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 0 ??

make sure you don't have anything in /etc/rc.local starting it up. There should be a few processes for smbd I believe, but SWAT should be able to shut them all down. does /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh stop stop them all? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Hacker Jr" <strbenjr@yahoo.com> To: <samba@lists.samba.org> Cc: <dwcjr@FreeBSD.org>; "Listserver DCFBSD" <majordomo@bsd1.sytex.net> Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 8:49 AM Subject: smbd running multiple times> > Dear "someone who can help", > > I am having a problem with SAMBA and SWAT (although > I'm not sure SWAT is part of the problem...)
