I have searched for some FAQ/HOWTO regarding Citrix/Metaframe to no avail. (Like this one http://samba.org/~jht/HOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf )
What I would like to see in such a FAQ/HOWTO: - Compilation issues regarding Citrix/metaframe - - ie the need to increase the MAX_CONNECTION setting before compilation - - ie how to compile samba to a 64 bit application to get more available file descriptors (problem for solaris) - the need to tweak the /etc/system settings (ie "set rlim_fd_max = <number>") - oplocks settings in smb.conf - the single smbd process issue and workaround(s) (wins and DNS-proxy/netbios names?) - the home-share issue and problem All these issues, and probably more, I feel are related to Citrix/metaframe vs. Samba. If I am wrong and somewhere there is a FAQ regarding this then all the better. Just need to find it. ;-) If not then it is most neeeded. And Samba4? What is this? :-) Due 2005?
