I just had the following message on my console:

>
> Apr  2 15:14:17 liffey syslogd: /dev/ttyv0: Too many open files in system
> Apr  2 15:14:17 liffey /kernel: file: table is full
> Apr  2 15:14:18 liffey last message repeated 174 times

I have taken a stab at fixing it by increasing the 
kern.maxfiles value. Is this the correct thing to do in this situation?

I also included the line
	> kern.maxfiles=2048
in my /etc/sysctl.conf file. (The original, default value was 1064)

Hoping someone will tell me I've either done the right thing, or what else
I need to do instead | as well. :-)

Mike
