Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm not sure if this is an issue with FreeBSD (running version 4.0) or with the software I'm trying to run: djbdns-1.05. In running the dnscache portion of djbdns, I'm getting the following in the log files: 2001-04-08 05:08:25.868590500 drop 212681 process cannot open more files 2001-04-08 05:08:25.870189500 query 212682 80534550:0406:cc0b 12 2001-04-08 05:08:25.870687500 drop 212682 process cannot open more files 2001-04-08 05:08:25.933129500 query 212683 8053dbab:0afa:01f4 12 2001-04-08 05:08:25.933517500 drop 212683 process cannot open more files Where can I get more information on the number of files that can be opened under FreeBSD? How can I increase this (if it's even possible)? It was also suggested to check whether the account I'm running the software under has permissions to open x amount of files, in this case x being 1000. Any information would be appreciated.
