Dear list, Here is a very strange problem !!! I am using samba-3.0.25b-1.1.cc in clarkconnect server. No problem to use the samba shares at all. Authentication works with no hitch. But samba users stay at the system. I have just checked with "who" and found there are 250 samba users from 1st of Jan !!!!! I tried to fond out the pid by "who -a" and kill those but then it says "no such pid" even I tried *smbstatus* but kill says no such pid. I have really no clue what to do with this problem. Day by day this system is flooded with more and more samba users. Kindly suggest what to do. How can I kill those past samba users ? How can I instruct samba no to have the continue with unlogged users ? Please show me the way. thanks
