Public bug reported: I have a home server running ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. It was setup originally with ubuntu 12.04 LTS and running satisfactorily for more than 2 years The server checks every 10 minutes and goes to sleep if no active clients are detected. My main PC is a w7 box connecting to some samba shares on the server. In the past 3 weeks it happened 3 times that the server reported an active samba connection although the client had long been shutdown. At the first occurrence I set the deadtime parameter to 10 but this did not solve the problem. The deadtime parameter was not there at all for the past 2 years and the problem only showed up lately so I think the cause of problem is somewhere else.
This is the output of smbstatus -v taken about 2 hours after the client has been powered off. It should not show the 4366 PID lines.
