From f90cf49970a0edf4dce5d145726a04e798530a2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gary Lockyer Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2018 07:04:48 +1200 Subject: s4 smdb standard: Limit processes forked on accept. Limit the number of processes started by the standard model on accept. For those services that support fork on accept, the standard model forks a new process for each new connection. This patch limits the number of processes to the value specified in 'max smbd processes', a value of zero indicates that there is no limit on the number of processes that can be forked.
