Rather than use strace can you look at /proc/<pid>/status and check the registers/psw and then check it against /proc/<pid>/maps to find out where in the app it is. Then you can get the offset within the library (presumably) and match that against an nm of that library to find the routine it is in. Unfortunately, they'll probably be in wait or something equally as useless but you may strike it lucky.
-----Original Message----- Everyone's access dies once memory is full, which doesn't take long in 64mRam/128mSwap. The samba process running away is owned by root, while the users samba processes have just quietly stopped working but still exist. The samba processes are outnumbering users in the extreme. ~13 active users this morning and 67 samba processes were running. Only two people had locked files. The extra samba processes are all owned by root. I haven't done the strace because of our charging/billing structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
