6 <para>This parameter limits the maximum number of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
7 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> processes concurrently running on a system and is intended
8 as a stopgap to prevent degrading service to clients in the event that the server has insufficient
9 resources to handle more than this number of connections. Remember that under normal operating
10 conditions, each user will have an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
11 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> associated with him or her to handle connections to all
