[SOLVED] Samba testparm root vs user

northbrookjeff · 08-06-2010, 11:07 AM

I am trying to setup samba. when I run testparm as a user it says all is well. But when I run it as root (sudo testparm) I get the error rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)

I entered the following
line in "/etc/security/limits.conf":

* - nofile 16384

any ideas
PS this is my first post.

thanks

Hi, welcome to LQ!

And apparently google is only my friend, not yours. 30 seconds into
research I found
Warning, not Error

Cheers,
