So naturally, as soon as I post a question I start to find some answers on
my own... *sigh*

I can apparently adjust the kern.maxfiles variable as the FAQ suggests to
whatever I want.  It says that it might need to go as high as 10,000 for
busy servers (which mine isn't).  Mine is currently set to 2088.

So my new questions are:

- is there any risk in raising it really high?
- how can I tell which processes are using a lot of files?

Thanks!
