I don't quite understand what kind of problem can cause this kind of error message. The only possibility I see so far is a mailing program I've written, but it doesn't use any files per se, it uses lipq (postgresql c library) though. I am using Freebsd 3.3-RELEASE, with the following ports installed: apache+php+mod_ssl-1.3.9+3.0.12+2.4.2 postfix-19990906.02 postgresql-6.5.1 PS. I had an incendent a few weeks ago where a program of mine looped, creating ~50,000 processes each of which created at least a file... I tried to remove all the files I knew about, but how can I find a directory which might have too many files?
