Hi i find some problem about informations given by the smbstatus command. I use smbd 3.5.6 and smbstatus 3.5.6 When some user use one after each other the same workstation connected to a domain defined into the samba server, i see with smbstatus the 3 user connected using the same smbd process, windows station permit only one user connected at the same time into the same workstation. for example: smbstatus -b Samba version 3.5.6 PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5683 user1 mygroup pc1 (::ffff:192.168.101.1) 5683 user2 mygroup pc1 (::ffff:192.168.101.1) 5683 user3 mygroup pc1 (::ffff:192.168.101.1) ps aux | grep 5683 returns root 5683 0.0 0.4 44252 5080 ? S 14:13 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D If i stop the workstation so the smbd process is closed and smbstatus doesn't give the previous information. so Is it normal that smbd process is always open for a workstation even if no user is connected and is it normal that smbstatus give the name of 3 user connected to the same workstation ? Thanks a lot in advance PS: i've got other samba server with 3.0.20 version and i have not this problem.
