you should probably be looking at Samba 3.0.x rather than 2.2.x for study. Or use Samba 4 for research purposes.

child smbd processes are forked per tcp session. See smbd/service.c:open_sockets_smbd()

It represents a connection to a file or lanman printer service.

a single session may have issued multiple tcon requests and there may have more than on active share connection.

I don't see this error anywhere.

You'll have to read the source for this one. That's a little broad of a question for a short email response.
cheers, jerry
