Another problem I'm not quite sure how to answer. Anyone have an idea of how to help this guy? (Copied below) http://www.amdforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167447 I have an Asus A7M266D (MPX chipeset) that I loaded up with Red Hat 8. Even though I am only running it with one CPU, I temporarily put in a second CPU during install so that it would load the smp kernel modules, in case I decided to add another CPU in the future. I just set the non-smp kernel as default in GRUB. I'm not sure if that's related to my problem or not... It seems that sometimes, after a process is killed, its entry continues to appear under /proc. For example, if I do a "ps -A |grep" to look for nmbd (Samba NetBIOS name server) processes, I see nmbd with pids 8979 and 8982. "pidof" shows the same thing. Now I do "service smb restart", and "ps" now shows nmdb running with pids 8979 and 9024. Note that 8979 should have been killed during the restart. Now if I type "pidof nmbd" I get 9024, 9009, 8979... I don't know why 9009 isn't showing up under "ps"! Yet each of those entries are under /proc still. "pstree -p 8979" returns "nmbd(8979)---nmbd(9009)". Now, if I do "service smb restart" again, I get: kill: "(8979) - No such process". It's almost as if 9009 is masquerading as 8979. Since "service" uses "pidof" to kill processes, it kills 9024, 9009, and then gets to 8979 and it's aready killed. I know this is kinda complex.. if you've followed me this far, does anyone know what could be causing this? I've noticed it with Samba because I've been fooling w/ its configs and restarting it a lot, but it seems like I've seen it with other processes too. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
