What is not yet fixed? 10,000 is the default and is supported with a
64-bit compile.

I responded privately to Jeronimo Rubiolo because I didn't think this
was appropriate for samba-technical. In the hopes of nipping the the
thread in the bud, I've included my reply below.
The errors from
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/1998-July/001631.html
consist of
Error: Unable to construct cleartext for object "0x4C" ..
Error: Type manager "z_whole_copy" failed construct_version operation.
Error: Unable to construct cleartext for object "0x3E"
Error: Type manager "text_file_delta" failed construct_version operation.
This error is usually due to a permission problem and not the number
of open files. I've seen this pattern of error messages many times. If
you were to look at additional information under the "failed
construct_version" you will probably see something about "permission
denied".
In any event, here's my private reply to Jeronimo
I believe you have come across one of the most common problems with
ClearCase and Samba.
Have you mapped the ALBD account on the PC to a valid account on the
UNIX VOB server?
Assuming that the ALBD account is clearcase_albd and the VOB owner
account is vobadm, then you should have the following
In /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map
vobadm = clearcase_albd
or, in general
<UNIX VOB owner> = <ALBD Service Account>
Again, these questions would be better asked on the ClearCase mailing
list.
In addition, this information is covered in the ClearCase
Administrators Manual Release 2002.05.00. Specifically in Chapter 6,
Section 6.3 SMB Server Products, sub section "Creating a Samba
Username Map for clearcase_albd"
