Limit to num of shares?

[Mayers, P J]

Yes, they do. Try creating a network share, then mapping it from 11
different NT clients. You'll get a nice message telling you you've exceeded
your connection limit on the 11th client.

This may just be SMB connections - I've never verified it. But it
*certainly* exists and is enforced under NT4. I suspect the same applied to
Win2K pro.

And by the way - this really isn't the most appropriate forum to ask this
question. It's only very tangentially related to Samba. Other questions
(like tcpdump versions <ahem> ;o) have been even less so...

Cheers,
Phil

Are you sure this isn't the limit on concurrent connections? For
non-technical reasons (i.e. to make you buy a server license for
servers,
even though NT Workstation would do exactly the same job) MS limited the
number of connections you were permitted to 10. (They don't enforce this
limit anywhere, though...)
