samba - Oct 2002 - Does Samba 2.2.4 support 64 bit?

Hi,

Does Samba 2.2.4 on Solaris 8 support 64 bit? We are using Clearcase
& Rational told us that only samba 2.2.5 support 64 bit?

Any help would be arreciated.

Thanks,

We are using solaris 8 and have compiled Samba with GCC 3.02.

We used the compiler option -m64 and -L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 to get a 64 bits
version of
Samba.

( I placed those in the "CC = gcc " variable in the Makefile after a
./configure thus
making it CC = gcc -m64 -L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 )

This was done to make sure Solaris could use the /etc/system parameters:

set rlim_fd_max = 4096
set rlim_fd_cur = 2048

If we did not the 32 bits Samba would only be able to use 256 file descriptors
even though
the 'system' parameter was set to those above.

I am not sure if this is the correct way todo it, but it certainly solved our
file descriptor
problems.
