Hi, I am new to the forum, i didnt see if anyone else had this problem. So here it is.
I upgraded from BIND 9.2.4 to 9.5.0-P1 on a Solaris 10 SPARC server. Since doing so, my log file is filling up with these. 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.202 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.432 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.436 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.438 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.439 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.444 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.445 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors 08-Sep-2008 16:06:41.449 general: error: socket: too many open file descriptors I believe i understand the problem, i just can't seem to fix it. The default 'open files' descriptors was 256. I up'd it to 4096. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log]# ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited open files (-n) 4096 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 10 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 29995 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited Restarted Server and named, and still seeing these errors. So I tried recompiling BIND with: STD_CDEFINES='-DFD_SETSIZE=4096' ./configure --without-openssl make But still didn't work. Using LSOF, i can see it has open 1023 UDP ports. Any advice?
