Out of connections, samba 2.2.x

[Chris Tooley]

Well, I was having similar issues here.  Andrew Bartlett and I worked
through some of the issues here.  Are you using any *NIX machines to
connect to this samba server?  Can you grab CVS and compile the tdbdump
tool that is in the samba-2.2.2/source/tdb directory and do a dump of
the sessionid.tdb:

	tdbdump sessionid.tdb > dumpfilename

as it appears that the issue for me was that I was having Samba clients
spawn off hundreds or even thousands of sessions in the sessionid.tdb
and it reached it's maximum of 3000.  This happens for me most often
when I have an application accessing a large number of realitively small
files at the same time.

If you don't have anybody going at Samba from *NIX it still might be
useful to see if there are a large number of sessions in the tdb.  That
might point to something other than the Samba client code.

Thanks,

Chris Tooley
