Lately it never fails when I attach a Mac running OSX 10.5 that I get
runaway pid's. I tracked them down so far to multiple close_wait's:
# /usr/sbin/lsof | grep pbg5mac
smbd 24876 root 6u IPv4 80015755 TCP
yoda.wrenkasky.com:netbios-ssn->pbg5mac.wrenkasky.com:49381 (CLOSE_WAIT)
They can grow to over 100 if I don't catch it or nobody can log on anymore
;-)
Anybody had any problems with Macs using samba?
Ed

Hi Ed, First, I feel your pain. While I don't have an answer, I did switch from OSX based Samba server to Linux and my problems went away. My experience in general with OSX server 10.5 is that its a horrible XSAN, NFS, AFP, SMB server. What I've used to help trouble shoot OSX in general in addition to the built in process viewer is XRG ( X Resource Grapher). You can also try to dtrace stuff. Just type it in a term to see some help. There were some NFS bugs I uncovered and shared with the OSX Server dev guys which should be fixed in 10.6 server but who knows if that will also fix the plethora of other issues. - Brian On Jun 2, 2009, at 10:02 PM, Ed Kasky wrote:> Lately it never fails when I attach a Mac running OSX 10.5 that I > get runaway pid's.

Gee, I had that same problem when Tiger was first released, only the server was a Windows NT 4 server. Didn't bother the Windows 2000 servers on the network, nor the two linux Samba servers I had, only the one and only NT 4 server I had left. When the number of waiting connections reached 250, the server would stop answering requests for new connections. With just one Tiger machine on the network, this would happen about once a day. With more, it'd happen faster. The problem seemed to have something to do with browsing, if I kept the Tiger machines and the NT 4 machine on separate subnets, the server would be fine.

Brian, Thanks. I thought I was just my two OS clients. From what I've been reading lately, it seems to have been around for a while in different releases of OSX. Our set up is one Samba PDC that acts as a file server for a bookkeeping business. We have the mac machines as we have a couple of artist clients who do all their work on Macs, including their books. We can't leave them connected to the network for too long or I have to restart samba. I did an strace and logged it here - http://www.wrenkasky.com/reports/mac_strace.txt I am not sure what to look for though. Maybe someone can shed some light...
