[Samba] Problem with Active Connections

[Rajpal Paul]

Hi,
We are using Samba Web Administration Tool.
The number of Active Connections keep on adding up, even when the client is not using it anymore. 
When there are too many active connections, it slows down the file transfer from the server to a client.
After manually clicking on "Restart smbd", it clears up the Active Connections and the server is ok again.
Please suggest what needs to be done.

Thanks.

Raj
