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" :

	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.
