You may have two limits: one from your shell: type ulimit -a (sh/bash/ksh) and check it. The other is the limit from the kernel, check by typing "sysctl kern.maxfiles". You may also know how many files are currently opened by using this command: "syctl kern.nfiles". In general, the first thing to do is to increase your limit from the shell. Check in man login.conf(5) for more details. E. -- Eric LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------- UNIX is user friendly.
