Hi,

This is quite a vague email, I'm just sending it in case anyone else experiences the same problem down the track or has seen it before.

I've been running the JDK1.2.2 port (patchset 10) and Tomcat 3.1 on FreeBSD 3.5 (stable-20000718) for the last ~17 days (that was the uptime of the machine before the crash I'll describe). Yesterday I attempted to SSH to the box to do something and it booted me straight off. Toddling up to the dingy computer room, I see on the console that it has run of out file descriptors to allocate. I've never seen this before with FreeBSD, and it had the effect I couldn't log on or do anything (apart from, I know I'm a sinner, the three-figure salute).

Are there any log files I should be aware of that may indicate the cause of the runaway file descriptors? I'm blindly pointing the finger at JDK/Tomcat because it must perform a lot of file IO (the box also runs sendmail (light load for the configration of the box) and sshd but thats about it).

The only reaon I mention it is in case there's a resource leak with the JDK or Tomcat. Sorry its so vague, any pointers on how I can better help with info would be appreciated or something to put in place for logging in case it occurs again.

Cheers,
Joe
