+standard process model
+----------------------
+
+When using the standard process model samba forks a new process to handle ldap
+and netlogon connections.  Samba now honours the 'max smbd processes' smb.conf
+parameter.  The default value of 0, indicates there is no limit.  The limit
+is applied individually to netlogon and ldap.  When the process limit is
+exceeded Samba drops new connections immediately.
