Re: nmbd going down - Tiger 10.4.2

I've seen this in the discussions bb, but wanted some feedback here. We are seeing the samba nmbd process crash quite a bit. As its crashing on our PDC, we are then having issues with PC domain logins. There seems no rhyme nor reason, here is the snippett of the log that seems to happen the most - right after it declares itself the domain and local master browser it goes down. This doesn't happen everyday, although we have very little load on the servers right now. We are connecting to a PC-based WINS server, but I removed it from there and it still seems to crash.

I'm thinking of croning up a check, then launch nmbd script (dust off that old lookupd script), but wanted to see if anybody had any other clues...

Got SIGTERM: going down...

  SIGTERM is not exactly a crash...it's the way one brings stops nmbd, see:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/nmbd.8.html

  Without nmbd, no one can do domain logins because nmbd is what's used by
  clients to find the PDC.

  So the real question is what process is generating the SIGTERM?

  I've never really seen this happen myself.  Was there anything in
  the log.smbd at the same time?

  The first thing might be to crank up the log level.
