samba - Feb 2003 - samba.2.2.7a clearcase solaris 8 "Too many open files"

Hello,

We ran a big mixed win2k unix environment. We use latest samba-version
(2.2.7a) and clearcase v2002 (latest version). Our vob and view servers are
sol 8 boxes , clients ran win2k.

Since a week or 2 i can see the following error or warning messages in the
logs:

##################################################################
Unable to open new log file /usr/local/samba/log.leipzig2: Too many open
files
##################################################################

I tuned the filedescriptor settings in /etc/system to

set rlim_fd_max=8192
set rlim_fd_cur=4096

and the samba "max open" settings to 	max open files = 16384	, but
that
settings seam to be useless , no affect.

In the clearcase logs no errors or warnings are indicated , now my question
, may i forget it , or is that a serious behaviour.


kind regards			martin schreiber

IHave you check the ulimit account settings for the account samba is 
running under? If you type ulimit, it shows the ulimit settings.  This 
is just a guess.
