Samba and Out Of Connection Structures on Solaris (again)

[richard van beers]

Hi Samba gurus,

Recently we are running in to out of connection structures woe's again.

Symptom:
Not able to get a previously succesfully mounted samba share.

Samba.log:
[2002/01/09 12:37:31, 1] smbd/conn.c:(104)
  ERROR! Out of connection structures
[2002/01/09 12:37:31, 0] smbd/service.c:(325)
  Couldn't find free connection.

On tips of this list, and the Sun site, we did a couple of things:

- Running Solaris 8 in 64 bit mode

- samba 64 bit compiled
   - samba 2.2.2
   - Sun CC cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11
   - environment flags:
	setenv CC cc
	setenv LDFLAGS "-fast -xtarget=ultra2i -xarch=v9a -xO5"
	setenv CFLAGS "-fast -xtarget=ultra2i -xarch=v9a -xO5"
	setenv CXXFLAGS "-fast -xtarget=ultra2i -xarch=v9a -xO5"
	setenv CPPFLAGS "-fast -xtarget=ultra2i -xarch=v9a -xO5"

- Raise limit for number of open files systemwide
  - set rlim_fd_cur=2048
  - set rlim_fd_max=8192

- number of filedescriptor limits upped with plimit:
        MOO=`ps -ef | grep mbd | grep pro64 | grep -v grep | awk '{print
$2}'`
        for pid in $MOO; do
                plimit -n 51200,52224 $pid
        done

We are running out of clue's :-( and Im still looking at Out of Connections 
every day.

Any clue or help would be enormously appreciated.
