The last I saw (this was on the samba-tng list a year ago or so, but was said to apply to normal samba too) 100 is recommended for linux PDCs where XP is present...so, just to make sure, I always set it to 100 :) As for upper limit...I don't think there's one...never heard about one existing back when I was in the samba/samba-tng mailing lists.
