Oh sorry, i forgot to mention it. It's actually 2.2.x kernel. Squid was
installed thru rpm.

In my box, i get 

[root@proxy root]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
1282 773 4096

So i presume i got no problem with file descriptor's limit in the kernel.
But i still get lots of "running out of file descriptor's" in my squid
log. Do i need to recompile squid? or do i need to change any setting?
