Recently I upgraded the server to Debian 6.0.1 but I have the same
warning in testparm.
To work around the issue I have to run `ulimit -n 16384` before the
testparm command.
The main problem was that I had to tweek limits.conf to allow
workstations to login on the pdc, I think a warning during upgrade would
be useful.
 Thanks
