Hello, Running squid on a 6.x box. I'm going to implement digest user authentication, and want to ensure squid is running optimally. Googling and reading "Squid the Definitive Guide" by Oreilly indicates that the file descriptors should be raised. I did a sysctl -a|grep maxfiles and found a value of 1440. It was suggested to increase this to 8192, which i did. I then found entries in /etc/login.conf that make me wonder if this change was necessary. All of these are set to unlimited in the default option: datasize, stacksize, memoryuse, filesize and openfiles (one of these the descriptors), maxproc, and Given this do i have to add an options maxfiles=8192 in my kernel config file? Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave. sbsize.
