ERROR! Out of file structures

[Levent Gündogdu]

Hi Mark!

I've had the same error while using Samba with RH6. I reinstalled LinuX with
SuSE 6.1 and recompiled kernel 2.2.9 (now 2.2.10) and samba. The error didn't
occur after that. If you are able to recompile your kernel, you may try to patch
your kernel to support more file descriptors.

Anyone else heard of another solution for that problem?

Bye,
 Levent.
