Hi, Sorry, I mean constantly increase of memory not decrease. The problem is that there are too many Samba sessions opened and eventually drives my server to a complete halt. It seems to me some used sessions are not killed or freed from memory. Is there a way to fix this? I have been running Samba happily for the last 6 months. For the last couple of days I'm forced to reboot the server 4 to 5 times 8( Please help.

(I'm not sure about overheads) SO.. I think this is normal Cheers, Mun Heng, Ow -----Original Message----- From: Norman Zhang Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 7:59 AM Hi, I have a Linux box with 512MB RAM and running Samba 2.2.7. I noticed that memory is constantly decreasing when I typed free. If I run ps aux, I see that more and more samba sessions are opened, some by root and some by users. Is this normal? Won't Samba close unused sessions before opening new sessions? Or is this a memory leak somewhere.
