At out company server i've 15 connections (15 smbd's) which uses aprox 1.3-1.5
MByte RAM per connection.

You need at least 256 MB RAM (100*1,5=150MB) in your Server, and activated swap space
(RAM * 2.1= 256*2.1=537.6MB).

Where are you read this message? In the samba log files and/or syslog?
What info you get from smbstatus?

No available hostmemory, really to much open files. But i don't think that you
have too many open files, or you/the distri have set ulimits.

What's with systemwide ulimits? As root type "umlimit". The answer of out
company server is "unlimited".
