Hi, I am running Samba version 2.2.5 with utmp turned on. I have a problem with utmp and not displaying who is currently logged in. The basic idea is that even though a user has logged off the computer (win2k pro) a connection to IPC$ remains. It gives this.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# smbstatus -u scott Samba version 2.2.5 Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- IPC$ scott ops 19247 tech3 (192.168.0.202) Mon Oct 6 07:19:46 2003 IPC$ scott ops 19247 tech3 (192.168.0.202) Wed Oct 8 08:09:49 2003 Scott is obviously logged off. But since the connection is still there, it remains in utmp for a LONG time or until someone shuts the computer down (or restart). [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# w 9:51pm up 20 days, 15:12, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.09, 0.09 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT scott smb/1 192.168.0.202 7:14am 0.00s 1:56m 0.02s smbd -D scott smb/2 192.168.0.202 Mon 6am 0.00s 1:56m 0.02s smbd -D Thats what ends up in my utmp. So, I very rarely have an accurate picture of who is on the network without doing smbstatus -u user on basically everyone. :( I understand the IPC connection probably needs to stay open. (I don't fully know why). Is this problem fixed in later versions of samba? I am running a moderately old version. Oh yea, 1 other thing. kill -9 pid of a "ghosted IPC connection" is incredibly bad. The entry seems to want to stay in utmp until reboot. :( Any help? Is it like this in all versions of samba, including 3.0? Thanks for the help!
