Problem: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are available ??

[Anthony]

As far as diagnostic modes are concerned, I'd say setting a higher log 
level would be a start. Log level 3 gives a fair bit of information. It 
looks like you may have the name lookups setup incorrectly. Check the "name 
resolve order" option (mine is set to "name resolve order = host lmhosts 
bcast"). Then make sure you have the applicable hosts properly noted in 
/etc/hosts and /etc/lmhosts (or /etc/samba/lmhosts), depending on your 
system. I use RedHat 6.2 and 7.1, and I've recently done a successful 
install of Samba 2.0.10 on a Slackware 7.1 box. I've not played with any 
other flavours of Linux.

Failing all of the above, make sure your system's DNS is working. One 
problem I found on the Slackware box was that Samba would simply refuse to 
start unless the DNS was running. That meant that if the permanent dial-up 
connection didn't succeed at boot time, Samba tried starting and then 
exited because it couldn't look up any names. (This problem goes much 
deeper I think, but I hope you see what I'm saying!)

That's all the help I can offer for now. Hope this helps.

Anthony.
