[Samba] Samba & Terminal Services / Citrix

[Hans B. Randgaard]

Hi Brad,

As it seems that nobody answered your quiry yet, here
you have some feedback...

We have used Samba with both windows-NT and Terminal servers(Citrix)
for over a year now. It works just fine :-)

Concerning the Terminal servers and Samba we have only been bothered
with the following 2 problems:

- we had to increase the constant MAX_CONNECTIONS in smbd/conn.c
  since the total number of drives being mapped from the Terminal
  server was higher than 128(default). We chose 1024 instead which
  gave us a reasonable margin.
- originally we used %U and %G to point to the users login path and
  for our PDF generator.
  However, we had to give up using these "variables", since the user
  and group IDs were cached somewhere, resulting in user and group
  mixups on the Samba server.

Even though it is a late answer(I subscribe to the digest version of
the mailinglist), I hope you can use it.

Regards, Hans.
