Hi,

I am looking for tools that will help me find data-structures in Samba 
that should be in shared pages but aren't because they are not marked 
appropriately by the source code.

Are there any tools that will allow me to break out the layout of an 
executable file, but also that will allow me to profile memory usage? 

From the sound of the various discussions I have heard about FreeBSD's VM, 
since Samba forks a copy of smbd for each connection, any pages that have 
not been written by children smbd's will be shared in anycase, so maybe 
there is not so much to worry about?
 
Regards
