Ok, I have had a preview of the document. The Terminal Server issues are as far as I can see all covered except one. This issue is related to a Solaris 32 bit application limitation. I do not know if HP-UX got this limitation aswell as our HP-UX samba userload is not high enough to reach this limitaion (if any).
Here is a Sun statement which describes the problem: "For a 32-bit application, a stdio library FILE structure represents the underlying file descriptor as an unsigned char, limiting the range of fds which can be opened as FILE's to 0-255 inclusive. A common, known problem is that when the 32-bit stdio is used for a large server application, the 255 limit is frequently exceeded. Although this limitation does not exist for 64-bit applications, this problem will always remain for 32-bit applications." Without the netbios or hosts 'fix' described in Erics whitepaper one would easily reach this limitation. The samba server smbd process for this TS would have a large amount of open files ( > 256). To solve this on Solaris we compiled the samba source with the gcc -m64 option making the samba binaries 64 bit and increased the default settings for max file descriptors in /etc/system. Is this something which should be added in some sort of documentation/whitepaper? > Sorry about the Terminal Server Whitepaper "attachment > fiasco".
