samba concurrent connections
Hi all,
In windows XP there is a limit on the no: of concurrent connections http://s529.photobucket.com/albums/d...nt=sharing.jpg my question is as follows is there any mechanism/directive in samba to implement a similar sort of limit on the no : of concurrent connections ? |
well, it's a little 'blurry' but Samba has some limitations:
Code:
smb.conf: - an explanation - limiting connections - some Windows limitations I don't know how else can be done. |

well I created a share as follows [sample] path = /home/sulekha/sample read only = No create mask = 0760 max smbd processes = 3 deadtime = 30 but i am able to access this share from 4 windows machines , so as far as i my understanding goes max smbd processes directive has failed isn't it ? |
From a bit of googling I would have to agree with lithos that this is a bit blurry.
max smbd process is a global parameter i.e it limits the number of running smbd processes and not the number of connections per share. However, there should be one smbd process per client connection. What is the output of the smbstatus command when all four computers are accessing your server. Are you just viewing the directory or are there any files opened? |
