<samba:parameter name="max open files"

<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>
