	Trying to run named, I get a socket error "too many files open" 
in /var/log/messages. There are over 2000 files available, and very few 
<200 are used.

	Any ideas why this might be occuring [most likely I am misreading 
some information somewhere] and how I can go about correcting it?

Thanks,

-Jerry.
