All of a sudden samba stopped working.  I notice the
smbd and nmdb daemons are not staying loaded.

Here is what /var/log/messages says on boot;

n  2 01:25:00 d named[118]: starting.  named 8.2.2-P5-NOESW Mon Mar 20 20:43:5

Jan  2 01:27:01 d rshd[300]: PAM authentication failed
Jan  2 01:29:01 d su: david to root on /dev/ttyp0

any ideas? Are the too many files linked to the fdlimit?
If so should I just raise fdlimit?  how?
Is this why the samba daemons won't get running?
