Yep, you're right. Been able to set it correctly on Ubuntu 14.04
(/etc/security/limits.conf), but the same configuration does not seem to
work on Ubuntu 16.04. Trying to figure out why.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Objet : Re: snmpd handles limit
Hi,
The error “too many open files” actually comes from the operating
system — it seems you’re reaching the limit of file descriptors a
process may keep open (some linux distros have that limit set to 1024
by default, which seems to be your case).
You can increase this number by editing your system’s limit.conf file:
http://linux.die.net/man/5/limits.conf
Please check the documentation of your distro for the proper way to
increase the number of file descriptors.
Cheers

Hi,
I'm using snmpd as a proxy to handle all my devices polling from a
restricted environment to the production environment. Something like
1400 devices. And I found that I can set up up to 1010 devices without
any problem. But as soon as I enter more devices, the daemon does not
start anymore, complaining that there are "Too many open files". I
tried to increase this value (though I can't figure out the limit it
breaks) to 4,000,000 handlers (from /prox/sys/fs/file-max (defaults to
202,747). I can't create any more device anyway. So it must be
something else that I can't find out.
Is this something hardcoded in the library or a value in the config
file that I could play with?
Tks,
