What is in your smb script? What does smbstatus show? What happens when you forget the fancy startup script and just use: smbd -D nmbd -D Here is all I use to start my daemons:
#!/bin/bash case "$1" in start) killall smbd killall nmbd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ;; stop) killall smbd killall nmbd ;; reload) kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid` kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid` ;; *) echo Usage: echo start stop reload ;; esac exit 0 Joel On Tue, Mar 04, 2003 at 11:47:48AM +0100, Maarten Buiter wrote: > Hello People, > > /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status yields the following output: > > smbd (pid 31224 31209 31102 31098 31077 31069 31056 3237 3171 3154 3147 > 3144 3131 3129 3128 3124 3119 3091 3077 2590 2582 2564 2491 2468 1964) > is running... > nmbd (pid 31062 31061) is running... > > In total 25 smbd's and 2 nmbd's, while only five or six users actually > use the samba-server. > > This many processes causes my system to have a load around 19 to 25, > which prevent > my sendmail from sending mail. > > Does anybody know if this is normal samba behaviour?
