Hi, can anyone help point me in the right direction?  I'm having a problem
using FreeBSD 3.1.  I installed from the latest CDRom using the 'impatient'
method.  I've setup two systems, one as a database server, the other as a
webserver.  Neither are as yet in active production use yet.  The install
worked fine and everything seemed fine.  However, sometime shortly after I
started installing various software packages I started getting syslog
message like the following:

Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times
Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full
Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times
Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full
Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times
Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full
Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 12 times

I get the same messages on both systems and after trying to reboot one of
them, I find it will now only boot into single user mode.  Is this some kind
of blocking factor problem?  Do I need to re-create the filesystems or
something?  Anybody experienced this before?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
