I'm running in my production enviroment Samba 2.2.8a-0 using security =
domain in a RH9 box and I start to find error messages in log files like
that:

[2003/12/10 11:47:11, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(599)
  spmatscl11 (10.5.108.10) Can't change directory to
/home/CENCOSUD/Chile/Users/cestay
 (Permission denied)
[2003/12/10 11:47:11, 1] smbd/password.c:add_session_user(367)
  Too many session users??

  spmatscl11 (10.5.108.10) Can't change directory to

[2003/12/10 11:47:11, 1] smbd/password.c:add_session_user(367)
  Too many session users?? 

directory permisions are OK ( the entire path) and authentication works
fine, actually users are mapping another resource. I have now 850
sessions, I think that CAN'T be TOO many, isn't? I'm planning to have
close to 4000 users !!! in the next months.

I never asked to my self about these limits (sessions/connections, open
files, quantity of shares - I have many and I'm planning to do more-),
wich these limits are?

I'm feeling a bit scary

regards, Leandro.-

PD: I'll be upgrading to Samba 3 in the next weeks, because idmap ldap
feature.
