Samba only show one PID for all sessions

[bfrench]

We have two NT systems mounting with samba to a HP system.
If you look below you will notice that there are only two PIDS (one
for each system) when I run smbstatus.

Samba is not breaking the PID up per user or per connection.

Here is my smb.conf file. Please let me know if I should add any
additional options

[global]
workgroup = SIE_nx
netbios name = HPS-SAS1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
server string = "SAS on HP-UX Productive Environment"
security = user
os level = 20
encrypt passwords = Yes
wins server = xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx
hosts allow = xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx
xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx
[homes]
comment = Your homedirectory
read only = No
browsable = No

[Projects]
comment = SAS Projectfolder
writeable = yes
write list = @BROWSER
path = /sas/data



Two questions. Is this correct? If not how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Brian

From the output of smbstatus you can see that for each service connection to a host, a PID is asociated.

Run sbmstatus to match your connections to PIDs.

I'm not sure I understand your response. When I run smbstatus I get the output listed above. I think I should have more the 2 PID (one per system connecting) shouldn't I have a defferent PID for each user?

Thanks,
Brian

[Ivan Ferreira]

Sorry, I did not verify the output of smbstatus.

Check "max smbd processes" value. Use testparm -v to verify.

[bfrench]

Value of Max smbd processes

max smbd processes = 0

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Not correct. Restart the service.

From the man page.

Default: max smbd processes = 0

I have not changed it so it's still at the default value. Should I increase this value?

I restarted and got the same value with

./testparm -v | grep smb
max smbd processes = 0

[bfrench]

I change the value on the test server and brought up two sessions. Both sessions have the same PID

New max smbd value
max smbd processes = 1000
