i'm running mandrake 8.2.

i've configured smb.conf, and got it working,
so that it is accessible from a win98 machine.

one strange issue is every now and then,
i will not be able to connect from win98,
with the error dialog box: 

//mandrake is not accessible
no permission to access resource

whenever this happens, i'll just login as root,
and delete a duplicate smbd process that somehow exists.
eg,
$ ps -u root
1681 ... smbd
1682 ... nmbd
...
8429 ... smbd
$ kill 8429
this always fixes the problem.

does anyone know why i get the duplicate process?

thanks
