When you have the connection problem, what error do you get? Does it say that there are too many connections? By default, Samba only allows 128 connections per machine. On a Terminal Server, 128 connections can be used up quickly. To resolve the connection problem, compile Samba from source but before your run <./configure>, set MAX_CONNECTIONS in samba-source-dir/smbd/conn.c to a larger number. On our server, I changed it from 128 to 2048 and haven't had a problem since.

Multiple users accessing Samba fromterminal server I've seen a lot of mention of this problem on this list, and via google, but no solutions that I can follow. Can somebody please clue me in? I have a terminal server, with multiple users, who need to access shares from a Samba server. The first user has no problem, but subsequent users fail, unless I first kill the smbd process. Important trivia (maybe): 1 - We did not have this problem until we migrated our authentication from NT4 domain controllers to Active Directory. 2 - We only have this problem on Win2k terminal servers. XP systems, single user Win2k systems, and Win2003 terminal servers are OK. 3 - If one user has a drive mapped, and we kill smbd to allow a second user to map a drive, the first user CAN STILL MAP A DRIVE. This can be repeated over and over, to get many people mapped, but it is obviously a pain, and appears to have a temporary effect (apparently something cached somewhere) 4 - If we change the netbios name in smb.conf between each user, then we can also get multiple users to map drives. 5 - Our Samba servers are running Solaris 2.6, Samba v 2.2.8a TIA - A -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
