Thanks for responding so promptly. This is getting worse. Upgraded Samba some 16 hours ago and
now I only have ~3000 FDs left out of 8192. A few hours ago I had 5000 FDs left.

Specifics
---------
Kernel: RH 2.4.9-34
Client OS: all W2K, not sure what their service pack is, probably SP2.
glibc: 2.2.4
gcc: 2.96-98

What more do you need?

These are normal office machines, most of them only Office some run OrCad or 
an Access DB client named Kontakt.

Ahh, I see, in this build I had fhs specified(didn't mean to) previous builds did not. Thanks.

Thats right, I have just reused the path, it's samba 2.2.6 that is running.
Should clean that up, I know ...
