Hi! I am having trouble with a samba server version 2.2.5 on SuSe 8.1. Very often my samba processes get to state D and can't be killed anymore. The clients seem to continue to connect and so I get even more dead samba processes. These processes can't be killed, all I can do is reboot the machine. I have looked on the internet, quite a few posts regarding that problem, but no real solutions. Do you think an update to a new samba version could help? The smbd is called through inetd with the following line in inetd.conf: netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd -l /var/log/samba All shares are on a RAID controller using ReiserFS. I decided to not start nmbd. Could this be the problem? Any ideas? Another problem I have Whenever I connect to the linux box within a Windows Explorer (our clients are Win XP and Win 2K) the first time, it is listed in the workgroup "Unknown". Could this problem be connected to that or would could I do to change this? (starting nmbd did not change anything) Thanks for the help in advance Nice regards Werner Kratochwil
