93	Destructions of *.tdb files	digi	Silvan Scherrer	"SAMBA in role PDC. Nearby 120 users and up to 50 ""guests"".
In working hours often happen destructions of *.tdb files. The size of files 
%ETC%\samba\private\passdb.tdb and %ETC%\samba\private\schannel_store.tdb becomes only 4096 byte.
In some minutes after restoration from backup a situation repeats.
Various utilities inform on damage %ETC%\samba\lock\connections.tdb.
In a reality this file appears locked (opened), and one of processes smbd.exe turns to ""zombie"":


{{{
