Can anyone tell me what these (apparently related) messages mean, or where
I should look to find out? 

> Feb 17 15:55:33 angmar syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in
system
> Feb 17 15:55:33 angmar /kernel: file: table is full

I got a whole heap of these just after bringing the system back up, but
they stopped appearing after a minute or so. The system had been down for
about two hours and majordomo seemed to be doing a lot of work...

Has this got anything to do with the openfiles capability in login.conf?

Thanks!
