This could be a build option, but it might be much simpler to hard-code
it in local.h, which is what I did to fix it.
Can somebody check the implications of this on Solaris, HPUX, etc.?
On Solaris, compiled as a 32-bit app, the limit
applies. Compiled as a 64-bit app, you can have
as many FDs as you want.
However, there is currently no good reason to build
Samba as a 64-bit app: it doesn't need a bigger
address space.
I'm wondering, basically concerning all platforms, whether this
is about the size of fd_set, or about the number of FDs the
kernel will actually assign to a process.
If the latter one is not limited, wouldn't a single excessive FD
consumer impact other processes?
Cheers!
