From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827 Description of problem: The file "smbd/conn.c" contains a hard coded limitation for connections that is causing problems with Citrix servers. conn.c:#define MAX_CONNECTIONS 256 If there are many users connected to a Citrix Metaframe server, the connections to shares start fo fail with the following error: ERROR! Out of connection structures Simply changing the value to something like 1024 and recompiling fixes the problem, which also appears to be present in Samba 3.0 and RHEL 3.0. Since the target market of the product is the enterprise, you may want to consider bumping up this value. There is an existing bug at samba.org (see below), but I wonder if perhaps you might consider building your RPM with this change. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=716 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-2.2.7-3.21as How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Windows system as Citrix Metaframe server 2. Configure shares over Samba Additional info:
