Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the exact definition of Samba's 'Panic' directive.
We run samba as a domain controller on a Solaris box, but it periodically falls over with a number of different symptoms (samba process hogging all CPU, hogging memory, dozens and dozens of samba processes constantly spawned or sometimes for no apparent reason at all). We've had a look at a number of solutions, but havn't been able to find the problem (I personally suspect it may be something to do with solaris with samba...I'd like to run the domain controller from a linux / BSD box for a while see if the problem replicates...but its not my call :) ). The next best thing would be to get the server to mail out or better yet, restart itself when samba falls over. Hence the panic directive is of interest to me. Would the above qualify as samba panicking? Is there a set trigger for the panic directive to be invoked? If anyone knows (other than try it and see...which I don't want to do as the service is disrupted enough as it is without me throwing in more random configuration options when I don't really understand what they're doing) please let me know.
