samba - Jan 1998 - Not Enough File Handles

Fellow Samba Users,

		I am trying to find out how to increase the maximum number of file
handles that a SMB client can access. I am running Samba on Linux. I have 2
Windows 95 machines connected to the Server.  I am using a Clipper database
that needs 120 file handles due to all of the tables and index files. I
copied the database onto a Samba share. When I attempt to access the
program from one of the 95 machines, I get a message from the database
telling me that there are not enough file handles. I ran smbstatus on
Linux, and It was able to open 95 files before I got the message. I have
already increased the number of file handles in the config.sys files on the
Win95 machines. It still gives me the same message. To allow the program to
run on a novell server, I had to put file handles = 120' in my net.cfg
file. Is there something similar for SMB clients?  

	Also, how does record locking work under Samba. Will 2 users be able to
access the same table at the same time?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

File locking can be turned on or off in smb.conf.  See the "locking ="
parameter info.  Record locking is up to your database front-end.
