    Hi,

    i run into a problem on a FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE Applicationserver (2GB of RAM,
    4GB Swap, Dual XEON 3.06Ghz).
    The box serves the "xfrce4-panel" for 80 Network Clients via ssh so the
    Users can start OpenOffice.org and firefox from that panel.
    It is goin very well, except a message (and also a problem) i run into the
    last day.
    If i tried to open firefox from a networkclient and received the message
    "too many files open...". I saw that message on 3 different Network Clients
    and just after a fresh configure and the first time starting firfox on
    these Networkclients with that UID.

    I checked my configuration on the server about "openfiles":

    kern.openfiles:9306
    kern.maxfiles:65536

    netstat -m
    3952 mbufs in use
    732/64000 mbuf clusters in use (current/max)
    [...]

    "fstat" shows me 393 on User A and on User B 3459. I did not check the
    other users.

    kern.maxfilesperproc: 5898
    kern.maxusers: 384

    My /boot/loader.conf looks like:
    kern.maxfiles="65536"
    kern.ipc.nmbclusters=64000
    kern.ipc.nmbufs=256000
    kern.maxproc=8192
    kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096

    So i do not get it, imho the configuration is just fine, but why do i get
    the message "too many files open..."?

     Thanks in advance
