Hello, We have used successfully Samba suite for 5 years and it's a real pleasure to work with these safe and powerful products. ;-) Thank's to samba team. We have a Solaris Server with Samba 2.2.3a and a list of about 20 running volumes. Each person has a private connection with our data sphere via Samba (directly with PC, NFS with UNIX and Samba + DAVE with Mac). We have also a W2K advanced server with 50 simultaneous users which distributes RDP or ICA sessions to thin client users. This server don't manage any data, users have a samba connection to unix data server. Our problem today is : Only one smbd daemon has been started when user comes from W2k server. Behind this unique unix process, there is a management of about 70 - 100 connections.... This is a result part of "smbstatus" : rimuno rimuno genra 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:00:29 2002 winto winto genra 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:01:03 2002 thoyon thoyon sepes 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:00:25 2002 Prod_Contr kurbel genra 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:00:22 2002 Temporaire bouc lgmd 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 16:00:16 2002 samba samba genra 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:14:10 2002 Eval bobat genra 5319 gene2 (193.50.63.0) Tue Oct 22 15:00:22 2002 Imagerie liploce genra 15612 w-laplace (192.168.100.117) Tue Oct 22 12:03:54 2002 When we are using about 90 connections, new connections become impossible !!! So my question : Is it possible to start any different daemons for each connection from W2K server gene2 ? Thanks by advance. Best regards. ????@o.,,.o@??????@ (- @-@ -) @??????@o.,,.o@????
