You either have a program = going crazy and opening up too many files, or you need to set maxusers in your kernel config higher. Or, if you are certain its just a file descriptor issue, try upping the value of=20 kern.maxfiles e.g. sysctl -a | grep kern.maxfiles sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=3D<some bigger number> But generally start by increasing the maxusers value in your kernel = config pstat -T will also tell you BTW. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) =09 Sentex Communications Corp, =09 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers=20 could setup a national IP network."
