All people I know, who have their computers on the network as any type of servers (ftp/httpd/...) reconfigure that number to a bigger one (I set it 32, but it can be smaller). Otherwise one gets the message that the limit of opened files is reached. (It is possible to change the formulae the values are calculated from the maxusers, but it doesn't seem to be reasonable) IgoR
