[Samba] smbd daemon uses all filedescriptors

[Glenn Scherb]

I ran into a similar problem on FreeBSD.  The McAffee virus scanner on a
Win2K workstation ate up all my locks when oplocks were engaged.  I
turned oplocks off and the problem has not recurred.  I haven't noticed
a serious performance hit without the oplocks, either.

We are running samba on a number of HP systems running HP/UX 11.00. 
We moved from samba version 2.0.7. to samba version 2.2.3a. 
We have about 200-400 smbd's running on one host. 

Samba version 2.2.3a was running without any problems for about two
weeks. 
But now on two different servers indepent of each other, the file table
was full. 
We found out that ONE smbd used about 5000 !! filedescripters to the
same 
MS word file. We didn't had these problems with samba version 2.0.7. 
We want to install samba version 2.2.3a on other HP servers used by 2000
people. 

Has anybode seen this problem before (on HP/UX ?? ) ?? 
For us this is a serious problem. 
Please advise/help.
