Sound to me like the cifs startup script need to register their pid to avoid killall killing them at shutdown. The mechanism is already provided by initscripts, now the packages needing it just need to use it.
Which package starts this daemon? This issue should be reassigned there. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
