Umm..ok. I can just state the facts, I'm not pretending to understand them. To make sure I'm communicating properly, If I do: /etc/init.d/smb restart the old processes and locked files are gone If I do (as root) from the command line: kill -9 <pid> on one of them, the process and locked file is still there. It's as if it takes killing samba in it's entirety, for it to clear itself out. > > > No, smbd should go away once the client has disconnected > (all calls on the socket will return -1 and smbd will > terminate itself). That's what I was understanding, but in some cases, it is not happening, even on a "clean" disconnect of the client (such as an orderly user shutdown of their box). > > Jeremy. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
