OK, I have managed to find the culprit for the

[2004/09/21 16:43:01, 0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(111)
create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe.

error messages, to find this I changed the log file = samba.log.%m to get the machine name, and watched for the huge file.

It turns out that this is my 2k3 server, I have no idea why it would be doing this, as there is nothing special that i can think of that the 2k3 box does.

If anyone wants logs etc please ask, i'm stumped!

Thanks,

H

EDIT: just for a laugh, i rejoined the domain, there have been no more of these messages! I will report again tomorrow...

Hi Jerry
The samba server is 3.0.7-SuSE from suse rpms, running on suse 9.0. It is running in domain member mode, auth against w2k3 server with winbind. It is just a file/print server, with nothing too fancy about it.
Is there a way to find out which client is causing it?
Thanks,
Hamish

The client is trying to open an excessive number of handles
on a given named pipe instance.  Any idea what application
is causing this ?  And this special about your environment?
