Replying to Henrik Nordstrom: Henrik, I realise that it might be too late for this stuff. On the other hand, it won't introduce any new bug I think.
squid configure scripts are checking MAXFD at the time of compilation. Many systems today limiting user's usage of fds to 1024 (or even less). In particular, one of these systems is Fedora. Fedora's build system working in chroot, under "casual" user. So, standard squid packages got built with fd limit = 1024. This may be enough for single user setup, but definitely not for 1200 hosts behind. And right now, redhat guy gave me this "nice" answer: ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-19 04:13 EST ------- Please, route this issue to upstream, http://www.squid-cache.org/ and file the request here. I don't want to change this default value for Fedora only. And If you have to manage a large site, you surely don't use the default values but you do some tuning. Definitely I'm doing some tuning! I'm rebuilding it myself and blocking upstream updates for this package. Maybe it's not only me who doing same extra work. How we can fix this on the squid side (if redhad side proven itself so stupid)? Maybe, set default minimum for linux to 16384? -- Paul P 'Stingray' Komkoff Jr // http://stingr.net/key <- my pgp key This message represents the official view of the voices in my head
