the windows client is unable to connect, the message is that the server is not found. Upon examining the job table, there are several smbd instances running and no clients connected. This is a vanilla installation at a site that has been working for a couple of years. The other site belongs to them as well. I recently upgraded the OS to a newer version of linux distribution and kernel though the samba distributions were built by hand. Only one site exhibits this behavior. The problem is intermittant in that when it does happen I find the running copies of smbd whereas normally there would be none unless a client connected. I dont' understand why smbd terminates properly under some circumstances and not others.??? > Regards, > Robert Adkins II > IT Manager/Buyer > Impel Industries, Inc. > Ph. 586-254-5800 > Fx. 586-254-5804 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Robinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 1:14 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Robert Adkins > Subject: [Samba] smbd weirdness > > > > I have two identical installations of samba v2.25 on linux boxes.
