Hello! I've a samba version 3.0.25a and cups version 1.2.7 running on a solaris box. I'm using samba to share drivers and printrers to windows xp and 2k clients. OK. Some days i got samba stoped and my logs has a lot of this messages: create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe. Last week a change log level to 10 to a specific client and I got 218 printer handles in use. But sometimes this number increase very quick and samba stop to responde. Then after restart the service all come back to normal. I think 218 handles opened is a number very high. Because In other situations i can see just 4 or 5 handles opened. here is the log file: http://www.cgtee.gov.br/se1003.log.n10.128handles In additional, sudenlly, others printers and clients, some times, show same problem even using different drivers. Here is the drivers used for the printer: http://printer.konicaminolta.com/support/current_printers/mc2430dl_sup.htm#drivers I'm using drivers for windows XP/2k. I hope someone can help me. thaks a lot! -- Att. Lutieri G. B.
