Sorry, -hackers, no answer on -questions.
When using the ecartis 1.0.0 (ex-Listar) web interface on 4.2-release, and
trying to log in without a password, login fails and mails this report:
Error report:
List:
User:
Action:
File: /home/ecartis/lists/SITEDATA/cookies
Error: Bad file descriptor
-- queuefile in error --
<< NO QUEUEFILE! >>
The comment by Rachel Blackman, the ecartis developer, is:
"After a bit of abuse, I was able to produce this error when my own
FreeBSD-4.2 box ran out of file descriptors due to a rogue process (in this
case, a faulty PHP/FI engine compile that was not always freeing file
handles for some reason). Perhaps something similar is affecting your box?"
The box is a dedicated list server, nothing else running.

What kind of tool is there to watch file openings and catch errors?
Or any other ideas?
The box works fine as list server, sending 200K+ messages (via postfix) per
day just fine. But I only try the LSG web login when no list is being
delivered. nothing in maillog, dmesg, or messages.
