I did mention in my original post that I think the systems resource issues are coming from the fact that unused smbd deamon processes are clogging up the system and wont die, rather than the other way round.
So I'm not sure if upping the resource table sizes would solve the problem or just delay it. I will try this and see if it makes a difference. Thank's for your response.

The errors you are getting in your log indicate that you have run out of the system resource controlling the size of the fcntl lock table. You will need to go into SAM (or have your hpux sysadm do this) and increase the kernel parameter (nflocks).
