[Samba] Unable to map drives to samba shares

[Christoph Scheeder]

Hi,
i guess nobody answered for some reasons:
1.) samba 2.2.0 is old today, verry old.
2.) you probably didn't give enough details on your problem.
what version of windows,
what servicepack,
what is in your smb.conf,
is the error reproducible,
does it occure for specific users,
is the samba-server the only server, or does it authenticate against a 
windows-domaincontroler....
you get the point?
3.) after thinking some time about it, i remember i had this issue long ago 
(around 1998 perhaps) with 2.2x, it turned out it didn't default to 0 for max 
connections, it used 32 or 64 as value. set the value explicit to 0 and it never 
occured again.
