Unable to kill smb process

[Justin Bennett]

I had to reboot the box, I have changed the automount options to be 
soft. I have user Maildir directories on automounted home directories, I 
don't think this is a problem (??), I am using Sendmail/Procmail with 
procmail maildir support, procmail drops the message in mbox format in 
/var/mail/user if the home dir is not avaliable, this just means I have 
to convert it out.
