Trying to understand the smbd process memory usage. In this case, "top" reports that most users are using 0.3-0.5% of available memory (1GB real memory in server), but several users show more. One shows 3% another 6% and yet another 25%. For the 3% user smbstatus shows 2 sessions, 10 connections, plus many locked files, and has been connected the longest period of time. However, for a similar user, only 0.6% memory usage is displayed. The 6% user has 1 session, 4 connections (the standard number for ordinary users due to a logon script), and no locked files. And the 25% user shows the same, and this system is primarily "hands off" as it's main purpose is to display a powerpoint slideshow (the file resides locally on the client) on a television. Also there are many smbd processes owned by root, most show 0.4-0.6% memory usage but one shows 7% memory usage. What can account for the differences and are they normal? Thanks. Chris
