I remembered that I had adjusted maxusers directive to 5, previously to 0 and the "too many open files" error cropped up. Googling around netted me the cause; FreeBSD alloted a limited pool of processes relative to the number of users specified. To remedy this, I changed the maxusers back to 0 and all things went well. FreeBSD will automatically adjust the the number of processes allowed. Hope this helps. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
