Hi all, at first, sorry for the long topic name.. could not think of anything shorter. I had a problem with Tor on my NetBSD (4.0.1) box, it said: Mar 15 17:51:09.357 [warn] We need 1000 file descriptors available, and we're limited to 956. Please change your ulimit -n. Mar 15 17:51:09.359 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Problem with ConnLimit value. See logs for details. ulimit doesnt help, because it would just set the current running process. Thanks to the guys in #netbsd on freenode, i discovered that you have to control that through sysctl. So, sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=3D8000 should do the job. You can add this to /etc/sysctl.conf to apply the settings on boot time. If you discovered the same problem on another system and try this solution, let me know if it worked out.
