I have got it before and took appropriate steps using the ideas and tips from you guys. Now I have it again: Current situation on my head-less system is that I do have a single SSH session up. Unfortunately it's not authenticated as ROOT but as an ordinary user. When I try a "ls" I get : $ ls ls: .: Too many open files in system Trying a su gives: $ su /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open "/usr/lib/libutil.so.3" I have a fairly huge RAID-5 system thatdislikes a power shutdown so I rather want to reboot the machine manually. I certainly need som help here and also more help on how to avoid this problem in the future.
