        I'm in the process of converting from the following scenario :
     
     Digital Unix 4.0 Data NT Server Data LanMan Clients
     ================ -------> ============== -----> =================
     importing NFS NFS Maestro Connecting to NT
                               exporting drive share
     
        Data is created on the DU server and written to the NFS exported
     drive on the NT Server. Users then connect to the NT share on the NT
     server to access the data.
     
     I'm going TO the following :
     
     Digital Unix 4.0 Data LanMan Clients
     ================ ---------> ===============
     Sharing data out Connecting to
     via Samba Samba share
     
        My question is : each time somebody connects to a Samba share,
     there is a new process spawned (as user 'nobody') from the smbd daemon
     to handle the request. Is the 'nobody' user restricted to the
     max-proc-per-user limit like everybody else? (currently still at the
     default of 64). Note : everybody is connecting to a public share,
     hence all processes belonging to 'nobody'.
