Does anyone know why this comes up?
just tested this on my lucid server and works like a charm.

It's a warning, you can safely ignore it. Windows 7 clients need to
have exactly the same number of open handles available as Windows
servers, else it fails in some file copy situations with a "out of
handles" message. Samba has taken care of it for you, but it's just
letting you know your fd limit is set a bit low.

haha, that's good to know. so both scenarios work

It does not work for me either.
It is not ubuntu specific though, you can have the error on Centos 5:

and solaris as well:

Hi! I tried this issue but the problem is still present:
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
thank you
Please see post #13.
It's not a problem that needs to be fixed.
This did not work for me either (new lucid install). I noticed that the * domain specification does not apply to root (according to the files). Basically, this worked for me:
Add the lines:
* - nofile 16384
root - nofile 16384
to your /etc/security/limits.conf file
and reboot.
I really only needed the root line but include the * to be complete in providing a true *. Hope this helps,
The line
root - nofile 16384
worked for me, but I guess it's because it was a server that I never log in to as an ordinary user - just root.
Otherwise, you may need the "* - nofile 16384" line, or more exactly, replace the "*" with the user running samba.
I did not have to reboot though, just logout and in again, then the warning was gone.
I have not yet tried to reboot the server, so I don't know if this setting will survive a reboot - but it would be strange if not..
might not want to just blindly start changing config files, in general.
For this particular item, not sure if this has been addressed yet, but here's a security reason for that setting of 1024
