Hi all, I keep getting messages like on my RELENG_2_2 box: Apr 1 09:27:57 dragon syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Apr 1 09:27:59 dragon syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Apr 1 09:27:59 dragon /kernel: file: table is full And this is with "options OPEN_MAX=192" in my kernel config file. ``bash$ ulimit -a'' shows this to be the case. Does Netscape (either v2.02 or v3.01) have a file descriptor leak? I think this happens to me most often when running Netscape... but then I run Netscape most of the time.. so maybe not. I've only been seeing a lot of these since 2.2-BETA (I moved there from 2.2-961008-SNAP). Any idea how high I should bump up OPEN_MAX? This is on my personal home machine running X, many xterms and rxvt's, PPP and sendmail. (oh, of course Mutt too :-)) -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org)
