samba - Oct 2002 - Hiting a limit to the number of connections

I am running Irix 6.5.12 and samba version 2.2.1 and am getting the
following error message when trying to log onto a windows machine that has a
samba mount mapped.

System error 71 has occurred.

No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because
there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

Any help would be appreciated as I am a newbie where samba is concerned

Thanks Neil

Hi,

Users on our Citrix server ran into the same problem.
The limit is hardcoded in the source and is 128 from 2.2.3a
and onwards. I don't know what it is in 2.2.1, but probably the
same. The solution is in the mailarchive somewhere.

You have to change the constant:

MAX_CONNECTIONS

in source/smbd/conn.c

Kind Regards, Hans.
