Winbind 'Exceeding 200 client connections...'

[demoniac]

Hi All,

I'm trying to convert one of our Windows file servers over to a FreeBSD/Samba file server. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with Samba 3.0.14a installed from the ports tree.

I'm working out the initial kinks that I've been having. (Had to raise the sysctl's kern.maxfiles and kern.maxfilesperproc from above the default values. Then I had to disable level1 and level2 oplocks as well.)

So now my latest problem... Inside my winbind log I have a whole ton of these:

[2005/09/06 22:32:48, 0] nsswitch/winbindd.crocess_loop(693)
winbindd: Exceeding 200 client connections, no idle connection found

Our processing servers were having trouble connecting to this machine and I would 'assume' that the above error messages are the cause. I've searched the internet and found one other person having a similar issue but no responses.

Anybody here have any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich

I think you have to increase the number of allowable sockets.

Hope This Helps, PH.

That is, by far, the fastest response I've ever gotten. Thank you.

I guess my next question is if you know how to do it? Are you referring towards something configurable in the smb.conf? Or would this be an OS level sysctl?

Thank you,
Rich

Sorry, I don't know FreeBSD.
It's an OS issue, more precisely a TCP/IP stack issue.
Search how to increase the number of sockets or network connections or tcp connections.
