Hi,

I have had to set a FreeBSD up again after the hard disk died.

It runs now on 7.2.

I noticed today that the gam_server opens some 4000 file descriptors.

Ok, I have read

http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/

All I have found out is that I should increase the number of file descriptors.

Isn't there any other way to tell gamin not to do this?

Erich
