Hi, I've got a network with an NT4 PDC and a Samba file/print server, running Samba 2.2.3 as packaged with Debian Woody. The machine has been working quite happily for ages (started life with Samba 1.9.18 a long time ago), and the printer sharing has always been done as Lan Manager printers.
Having finally found some spare time, I decided to switch to spoolss printing. I created a print$ share as in the docs, and then installed the appropriate drivers. All seemed OK, the drivers were successfully copied to the server, and the printer shares worked as expected. I restarted Samba a couple of times, and suddenly, for no obvious reason, the "Printers" share on the server emptied itself entirely. Running the rpcclient "enumdrivers" command returns no output. Inspection of the logfiles shows:- [2003/03/04 12:58:30, 0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(98) create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe.
