Anyone got an idea as to wtf is going on? Oh, the problem is with smbfs and NOT with Samba. I got confused by the subject line... Yup, what kernel version are you using? There's something wrong with smbfs in 2.1.x kernels when smbmount'ing a share from Windows 95 (and probably Windows 98 as well, as you report) servers. peloy.-

I've seen the "Too many open files" or something like that when using smbmount with Windows 95 clients, but have never seen the message with Samba. peloy.-

Anyone got an idea as to wtf is going on? > What kernel version are you using? You can find out by typing in "uname -a". I have had problems using 2.1.109 accessing a Win98 computer, as I often get errors: "Too many open files" (or something similar). I am not sure if this is becuase of Linux or Win98.
