Samba Max Connections Problem?

[humbletech99]

Hi,

I've got a samba machine that I can't access, it gives the following error:

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.

I am familiar with samba and the smb.conf having used it for some years. I have only ever seen this error come out of a windows file sharing box, not a linux one!

The service is working, there are a lot of clients connected (probably not more than 10-20 at the moment) but I can't see why this is happening. I've gone through the smb.conf and there is no statement regarding the max number of connections it can take.


Can anyone help?

thanks, will do...

I read it, but there are definitely no max connections set anywhere in my smb.conf

I've even searched through the file for max and also for connection and they are nowhere to be found. It says the defautl shoudl be 0 for unlimited so this shouldn't happen.

It's not happening now, just for a reasonably brief period...

sorry, maybe someone else may know, as i can't think of anything else

Is there any other util with Apache that monitors the connections?
