Re: [stunnel-users] accept : too many open files error(24)

Hi,

We are using 64 bit version of centos, and the ram of this system is 1gb so should we increase this limit to 100000 in the limits.conf

limits.conf is used only for interactive login sessions (i.e. when you login to your system as a stunnel user). It is _not_ used by daemons in your system (unless CentOS does something unusual in the startup script). You can check limits of a running process in /proc/PID/limits file, most probably your stunnel has still the default value (1024 usually). You should use ulimit -n in your stunnel startup script to modify file descriptor limit.
