samba - Feb 2003 - Samba 2.2.7a 64bit executable on Solaris 8

Good Morning,

I recently compiled Samba 2.2.7a as a 64bit executable on Solaris 8.
The Solaris 8 server is configured to permit 65535 files to be open, 
while Samba has been configured to allow 65500 files to be open.
These large number of files are required to permit simulataneous 
compilations to take place a single build server, though there are 
multiple build servers.

Last time I tried to use Samba (version 2.2.3a) this did not work, 
however version 2.2.7a is working fine, however Samba is complaining 
about too many files being open.

As Samba 2.2.7a is working and the compilations (and have been checked ) 
are taking place I am not unduly worried. However there is always the 
possiblity of a problem so would like to identify why Samba 2.2.7a is 
complaining in the log.smbd file.

Did you check: ulimit -a / rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max kernel
parameters?


Try:

# adb -kw
(wait one sec)
rlim_fd_cur/D
(exit with ^D)
