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.

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
