rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)

Anyone getting that error when running testparm on their samba.conf file?

How can it be resolved?

I'm getting the same message when I run testparm, no idea what it means either.

I'm getting the same thing too. I can connect to the Internet but cannot see any other computers on my network.

I have the same problem than you...

Add the line:

* - nofile 16384

to your /etc/security/limits.conf file
and reboot.

It worked for me.

On my freshly installed 10.04 (Linux samba 2.6.32-22-server #33-Ubuntu SMP) with minimal packages,
adding "* - nofile 16384" to /etc/security/limits.conf
doesn't change the testparm output after a reboot.

# testparm still returns: "rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)"

Even tried enabling/adding "session required pam_limits.so" to /etc/pam.d/su and reboot
Result of testparm is identical: "rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)"

Any suggestions how to correctly remove the rlimit_max warning?
