session ids

[Greg]

Hi,

can someone explain to me a little about how samba uses the session ids?

I particularly have a problem on FreeBSD-4.4 with session ids running out.

from log file:
[2003/03/05 12:36:41, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1005)
  Rejecting user 'stephen': authentication failed
[2003/03/05 12:36:41, 1] smbd/session.c:session_claim(88)
  session_claim: out of session IDs (max is 3000)
[2003/03/05 12:36:41, 1] smbd/password.c:register_vuid(331)
  Failed to claim session for vuid=100

I have searched high and low on google and through the samba archives with
no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg
