We are in the process of updating samba on our Solaris servers from (2.0.5)
to (3.0.2)
I have completed one host and all seems to working ok.
However I have noticed that for both versions of samba, as users map shares
the smbd process which starts can be either own by root or the users id.
This seems to be random.
Can anyone shed light as to what controls the owner of this process. This is
happening across all boxes on our site and both versions of samba.

Thanks for you answere. It helps.
Then I assume I have to install the whole package of krb and ldap. There's
no
development libraries for either tarball or tgz (slackware package) like rpm
have or is there? Is it possible to install the library part inside the
full package ("/openldap/library" for ldap and
"/krb/src/lib" for krb)? In that
case can I just copy that directory between the servers and run make &&
make
install? As you can see I'm a newbie here.
Ones again thank u v m!
