samba - Aug 2002 - Problems with Samba 2.2.5 and Solaris 8

Hello,

we've got a Problem with our Samba-Fileserver.
Shortly I installed Samba 2.2.5 compiled under Solaris 8 with gcc version 2.95.2
19991024 (release).

We have some NT-Servers using Windows NT4 Terminal Server Edition. And there are
round about 70 Users per Server using them.

Now my Problem:

Everything works fine until one Client opens the 129th Connection to the
Samba-Server. The Server can no longer open connections to the Samba-Server and
also the Domain is no longer available.

Here is one of the Lines from our Log-File:

[2002/08/08 14:16:41, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(340)
  Couldn't find free connection.

Is there a Variable or something like that where i can configure the Number of
possible Connections from one Client?
Or is it an Error comming up from th Operatingsystem? (Maybe the Variables in
the Sourcecode are to small ? ...)

Greetings 

Joerg Hendricks

Hi,

Check out source/smbd/conn.c and find the line that defines something like
MAX_CONNECTIONS 128

Bump it up to something big.  This was an issue for us, but we are running 
W2K TS, not NT (it multiplexes sessions via one PID/process), and there is 
no longer (someone correct me if I am wrong) reg setting to turn it off.

Do you have any trouble with locking?  We have locking problems after a 
couple of days (the locking db seems to get corrupt).
