I have started to see a problem with famd reporting "too many open files", similar to the issue recently posted by John McMonagle.
Running LTSP 4.1, on a Mandrake 10.1 system.

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
309816

ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 1000000
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 1024
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes            (-u) 24574
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited

This system regularly has about 20 clients logged in, and for the most part I have it running smoothly (thank you LTSP developers!). I have, for now, fixed the famd issue by doing a restart of xinetd (which runs famd), but I would like to know if some tuning may be needed to avoid a recurrence of the problem. Can the openfiles limit be set on the famd process specifically?
