The problem is that a 'max connections' would limit the total connections and what you really want to limit is the share connections per smbd. If could set something like "max connections = 10000" in [global] to set a ceiling but you will take a slight performance hit for it. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEv+NEIR7qMdg1EfYRAsa1AKDFV1dnX+HSVVM+S+RjSBV9S85otwCfRniQ ajxDm1Io1ptpGPo98ZJZ1/k= =FK96 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
