[Samba] Knowing The Limits

[Grabham, Keith]

Hello,
	We have had Samba 2.2.2 running successfully for some time on an
Ultra 10 with Solaris 2.8.

Over the last few days we have been having trouble with 'loosing' access to
some new shares and found that some new users had problems accessing their
home dirs. To get around the problem with the home dirs we shortened the
length of the path in the passwd file and moved the dir accordingly. Some
users worked with the longer home drive paths, some did not. There was no
real pattern.

The problem with loosing access to shares continues. 
On creating a share and forcing a group some in the group can access the
share and others get the error 'The network name cannot be found' on an open
command. We also get a 'The directory name is invalid'.  

Are there limits configured within Samba as to the number of users, number
of groups, length of paths to home drives / shares, etc?

Best regards,
Keith
