[Samba] Re: Number of SAMBA client

[Danny Paul]

It has been my experience that each SAMBA process has a resident stack size
of about 3-4MB.  You will have one SAMBA process for each active SAMBA
connection.  NMBD memory use seems to be low, 2 processes at around 2-3 MB
each. So, let's say you have a domain with 100 users; plan on 300-400 MB of
RAM just for SAMBA.  Then you must consider the recommendations for your
host OS, + any other service you intend on running.  Also consider the
throughput of your storage devices.
