Hello, I have downloaded and compiled 2.2.6 to replace my 2.2.6pre. I spent a large part of the day debugging the startup script because it seemed to always be starting two nmbd processes instead of one. Eventually I tried running just /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd - and still got two nmbd processes. Is this correct behaviour? On the first server (Dell 4600) I thought it might be because it has one of the new hyperthreading BIOS which makes Linux believe it has dual processors. The machine also had two NICs - one for each card? However, I tried in on my old PII 233 single processor and single NIC and sure enough two nmbds get started. Have I missed something? Are there supposed to be two running these days? I simply compiled with the usual parameters (./configure --with-smbmount --with-utmp --with-msdfs --with-automount) and have made sure only one nmbd exists on the system. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks guys - I never knew that! Thinking about it all my Samba stuff before has been integrated into existing Windows domains. What a wasted afternoon for me! Cheers if wins support is set to yes then two nmbd's are running. if you set it to no it is only one nmbd.. joerg --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
