Setting 'kern.maxfiles=1' in sysctl.conf has solved that issue in my
case. (But I still have problems with files on mounted ext3 partitions.)

FAM issue; how to fix

[badeguruji]

after i created another account on my machine:

$ id
uid=1002(..x..) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff), 5(operator), 31(guest)
$

and login using it, 

and
started kde with startkde. I am not able to run konqrer the kde
browser. I do not have firefox, if i install that, will it be ok?

I am able to login and run thebrowser properly as root and another user

I get following error in plenty in messages log:

Is
there any security concern here? famd has some issues with the number
of open files, thats th eonly thing i was able to understand from below:
