I have 10 Windows 10 clients connecting to Ubuntu 16.04 with Samba version 4.3.11-Ubuntu. Each client has one smbd process, but I notice the number of child processes is exploding into 40.000+ the next day after a restart. I reckon this is not normal. Server load is < 0.1 but client applications are misbehaving and crashing. The problems started when moving from an old Ubuntu 10.04 to a newer

I am thankful for all support received so far and I feel I'm getting closer to a solution. To get back to basics and a more transparent setup I have made a clean Ubuntu 16.04 installation and followed this guide https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Standalone_Server Windows clients users are logged in with username Admin (local account, administrator).

Hi, We have 5 Samba domain controllers, and 4 file servers. All are 4.2.10-Debian. Our file servers have been working fine until recently (on the 26th), when suddenly access to the \\users.store.example.com\user share (hostname p-cats) became extremely slow. Access to other shares on other machines is fine, and users is 128G total (smaller than other shares). The machine isn't under

I recently (a few weeks ago) installed 1.9.18p8 in order to get better performance with an Access Database, which along with adding a TCP_NODELAY in the [global] section has that working like a charm. Thing that's bugging me now is smbstatus. When I run it I see open files listed when I know that they aren't. The following output shows quite a few files open that aren't really. The

I am running samba 4.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. The samba server is running as an AD DC and stores the user profiles, the clients are all windows 10 professional. One user reported being locked out of the profile pretty regularly. After investigating the case I saw that a lot of files in the profile are still locked even after logging out and shutting down the system. After restarting the samba server,

Have any of you seen behavior like this before? We are currently having problems with our Samba server coming up telling a lot of our users that Word files "are locked for editing." and will only let users open them Read Only.

Hi list, I'm using samba-4.7.6-r0 and attempting to establish a public samba share where any anonymous user can write to the share. I have an issue where the 'guest' (uid 405) account is unable to write to a directory owned by that uid. If the gid or world writable bits are set, I can write to my share, but not as the guest uid. I need assistance troubleshooting why I cannot write as
