Package: samba-common-bin
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3
Severity: minor
Justification: cosmetic

Stock squeeze system.  /etc/samba/smb.conf as below.  Running
testparm, I get a worrying message (the following is censored a
bit):

$ testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[sharedfiles]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

[global]
	workgroup = SOMETHINGINALLCAPS
	server string = Someone's Computer
	; disable guest by mapping to nonexistent user.
	map to guest = Bad User
	syslog = 0
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.machine
	max log size = 1000
	panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

[sharedfiles]
	comment = Shared files
	path = /var/local/shared-files
	username = sharedfiles
	valid users = sharedfiles
	read only = No
$ echo $?
0

Should one be worried about the rlimit_max comment?  If there is
anything I can do to help track this down, I'd be glad to hear it.
