samba - Sep 2002 - cannot kill smbd processes

Hi there,

A customer of me still uses Samba 2.0.2 and it did work until know.

At the moment we are not able to stop the smbd processes and it is very hard
to gain access to the samba shares (only one user managed)
even when we do a "kill -9 " (noot recommended) the smbd processes are
available.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this ?

If the smbd won't die even with a kill -9, it may be stuck waiting on
some kernel mode call. I've seen smbd (along with other processes) on
Linux refuse to die when there was a kernel "oops" caused by
filesystem
corruption. If they won't die with a kill -9, you may end up rebooting
to get rid of them.

The Samba server is running on Solaris 2.6 not Linux,
I've already rebooted the server but the same problem re-appears. The number
of smbd processes are growing in the mean time.
