max smbd processes (G) This parameter limits the maximum number of smbd(8) processes concurrently running on a system and is intended as a stopgap to prevent degrading service to clients in the event that the server has insufficient resources to handle more than this number of connections. Remember that under normal operating conditions, each user will have an smbd 8 associated with him or her to handle connections to all shares from a given host. Default: max smbd processes = 0 ## no limit Example: max smbd processes = 1000
