7 <para>This parameter limits the maximum number of
8 open files that one <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
9 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> file
10 serving process may have open for a client at any one time. The
11 default for this parameter is set very high (10,000) as Samba uses
12 only one bit per unopened file.</para>
14 <para>The limit of the number of open files is usually set
15 by the UNIX per-process file descriptor limit rather than
16 this parameter so you should never need to touch this parameter.</para>
