Over the past 2 days, my smbd processes are multiplying worse than
rabbits. At least with rabbits it's easy to tell why you wind up
with so many...
Here's the setup:
Samba version 3.2.8-0.24 installed via rpm on a FC6 box with 2 nics,
both on the same subnet. The samba server acts as a PDC in a mixed
environment but mostly windows pc's running xp. It is used mostly
for file (Quickbooks) and print services.
We have a small home business network with usually only 3 accounts
connected, and no more than 10 open files at any given time. I
noticed yesterday that I was having trouble logging in from one
machine - share's not available, etc. So I checked the daemon to
make sure that it was running an lo and behold - there were over 400
instances of smbd.
It took two attempts to stop them all from the init script - the
first run seemed to only kill about 2 or 3 and the second one
finished the job. So I restarted and monitored the situation and all
seemed okay for a few hours and then after about 3 hours they started
multiplying again until I restarted the daemon again. There was just
normal file activity during the couple of hours that it took to go
from 3 to over 400 pid's.
I increased the log level to 3 but all I am seeing is the normal
wins, nmbd connections. I am seeing a few errors but nothing
significant I don't think - tell me if I'm wrong - but nothing in
these log files that correlate to the timing of the runaway processes:
