Hi Robert,
I'm not so sure under Linux ('cos I haven't done it yet!), but under other
flavours of unix, there is a kernal parameter called something like "nfiles"
which will limit the number od files open at system level (not user level if
you need them to be used by the db daemons).
Once you have increased this parameter, you will need to recompile your
kernal & reboot.
HTH,
Mike.
