Hi guys,

I have recently upgraded a system from 2.1.5R to 2.1.6R and am now getting
the following messages once the sytem has been up for a while:

Jan 13 15:33:29 anfi syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Jan 13 15:33:29 anfi last message repeated 3 times
Jan 13 15:33:29 anfi /kernel: file: table is full

Any hints on how I can fix this?

The system is a P100 with 160MB RAM running squid-1.1.2 and apache-1.2b2

TIA
Carey Nairn
