Hi folks! I'm a quite new user of FreeBSD (both 3.4S and 4.0S), and yesterday a server of mine reported this: Jun 26 20:42:46 gandalf syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Jun 26 20:42:46 gandalf /kernel: file: table is full Jun 26 20:42:47 gandalf syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Jun 26 20:42:47 gandalf last message repeated 2 times ok, I had to increase this limit with sysctl(8). I guess it is one of this: (note: this is a 4.0S kernel) kern.maxvnodes: 8456 kern.maxproc: 532 kern.maxfiles: 1064 kern.maxfilesperproc: 1064 kern.maxprocperuid: 531 should be kern.maxfiles, right ? and what about maxfilesperproc, should I increase it too ? what is the limit ? 65535 ? How can I set this permanently in the kernel ? I did not found anything in the kernel config file... I think I should increase the maxproc value too... Thanks a lot!
