Thanks for the reply.

I've increased the two parameters, but I am still getting the fopen()
limitation for 256 files and I cannot open any new files and the Process
do not start.

I need to clarify my whole setup. 

First I have around 500.000 dialup users that will use my setup and I
have around 60 NAS servers (Different brands). Also, it is important to
mention that I am running 6 RADIUS servers distributed in two locations
(3 in location A and 3 in location B). The whole purpose behind this
setup is that any location can handle the whole traffic in case the
other Location fails. We expect to have around 80 to 100 calls per
second for the whole setup, so that's why we've come up with these
numbers of DB connections below. 

As an answer to the slowness of the DB, I am not expecting this to
happen. We have well structured and indexed Oracle DB working at the
backend.

My question is, did anyone run with such setup before, and how he/she
overcame this opening file limitation, also, how it is performing?

Dear All,

I am running Freeradius Ver. 0.8.1 on a Sun Solaris machince Ver. 8 and
connecting to 4 Oracle Databases (different machines) for Authentication
and Accounting (along with Fail-over). 
My setup is as follows:
        100 connections for Primary Authentication.
        100 connections for Secondary Authentication.
        100 connections for Primary Accounting.
        100 connections for Secondary Accounting.
Once I start the Freeradius process, I can open only 253 connections out
of 400 and I got the following error:

Mon Jul 14 08:39:16 2003 : Error: Failed creating PID file
/usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid: Too many open files

And the process did not start.

I've tried to change some system parameters, but I've realized that I
can only change the parameter controlling the "open" files and not
"fopen", which is used by Freeradius.

I'll appreciate your help in advance.

Regards
