Hi, thanks a lot. When I login as root and enter the command 
  limit openfiles unlimited 
the error message goes away. But how can I auto do that when my host 
turns up? Now, the host is running with 64M memory, how can I increase
the maxinum openfiles limited? recompile the kernel and increase the 
MAXUSERS to a larger num?

Best regaurds!
