I believe that what happens is that samba starts a process which handles connections as they come-and-go from the client machine. If you make additional connections, you'll notice that they all happen to 'pid 3064' (in the above example). I expect samba does this because there are times when the windows client will make a whole bunch of very short-lived connections, and it's better to have one process which keeps track of client-information than to rebuild all that information every time. I'm not much of an expert on the low-level details, but I can say that what you're seeing is also what I've seen, and that I believe samba is supposed to work that way. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
