This is meta-obscure. You're running into the soft user limits (I don't know what they're really called) which limit file opens. man limit for more information. Unfortunately, sh doesn't have built-ins to manipulate these limits. csh, on the other hand, does. The best solution is probably for someone to write limit commands that work under sh; however, barring that, the following should do: csh -c "unlimit; named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot" I also run into this. I've been fortunate in that I've been around the system the last few times it's rebooted, and have noticed these problems reasonably quickly. I ended up changing this in /etc/rc . bryan > > Thanks, > > -Jerry. > Bryan K.
