Hi all..
Recently, we've been noticing that our main server is generating kernel
messages saying:
file table is full
I've tried altering some options in the kernel configuration file and
recompiling it etc. (noteably CHILD_MAX & OPEN_MAX which i've set at
1000) but we're still getting the same error messages every day after
the server's been up for 5-6 hours.
Quite a few processes are running on this server including sendmail,
radiusd, ipop3d, named all of which are used quite intensively so
there will be a lot of open files in the system.
Is the file table setting #DEFINE'd anywhere, if so, where??
Thanks in advance,
.
