    Hello all,

       When running bittorrent under NetBSD, the bittorrent client crashes
    after a while with the message that it is using too many opened files.

       A quick search on the 'net shows that many others have encountered
    the same problem, and the solution seems to be to add an "openfiles"
    entry to /etc/login.conf.

    So I did that; I created a login.conf files:

    default:\
            :openfiles=512:

       The problem persists, which makes me wonder: What does "default"
    denote? And, what am I doing wrong?
