The source file explains it better than I could: from samba/source/smbd/conn.c /* set these to define the limits of the server. NOTE These are on a per-client basis. Thus any one machine can't connect to more than MAX_CONNECTIONS services, but any number of machines may connect at one time. */ #define MAX_CONNECTIONS 768 I increase this number to 768 because I have terminal servers with 35-40 users on each, and want to make sure I never run out of connections.

Hmm, I would point to inetd as a likely source of your problem, since it is the program that is managing all the processes. Try switching to daemon mode, and in addition to getting a substantial performance increase, you may see the problem disappear. -- Mark Roach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
