Well the machine is a shell machine, for eggdrops etc which customers
can run but I know that eggdrop is the thing which is taking very much
file handles.
My system is a dual celeron 500 mhz with 256 RAM and It should not
crash, isn't there an option to get more file handles or something ?


Greetings
