<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="MAXOPENFILES"/>max open files (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This parameter limits the maximum number of 
		open files that one <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> file 
		serving process may have open for a client at any one time. The 
		default for this parameter is set very high (10,000) as Samba uses 
		only one bit per unopened file.</para>
		
		<para>The limit of the number of open files is usually set 
		by the UNIX per-process file descriptor limit rather than 
		this parameter so you should never need to touch this parameter.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">max open files = 10000</command></para>
