I have a samba server that starts creating a lot of processes for each connected user, until it renders the system unusable. Then restarting samba solves it all.
The last time it crashed I saw 10-12 processes per user. The number of processes keeps growing until we restarted samba.
Right now it's working but I see there are 25 of smbd from root. That wasn't happening before. I recall there was only one root process.
This is redhat-release-7.3-1 kernel-2.4.17 samba-2.2.7-1.7.3
In addition I see there is an ugly duplicated samba rpm installed. But when I connect to samba it tells me it's 2.2.7 rpm -q samba returns : samba-2.2.4-2 & samba-2.2.7-1.7.3
I'm checking the logs looking for something weird. The mailing list archives didn't help me.
Any hints ?
