Hi!
I just got the following stunnel error message in my syslog:
File descriptor out of range (1024>=1024)
The reason is that I have tried to let stunnel create 2000 services. But where do I change the maximum for this range? (Linux) Kernel? Or stunnel?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I already changed ulimit to 4000.

What does stunnel log on startup?
For example: 2005.02.01 15:28:28 LOG5[14407:1]: stunnel 4.08 on i686-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv6+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 [cut] 2005.02.01 15:28:29 LOG6[14407:1]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2005.02.01 15:28:29 LOG6[14407:1]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2005.02.01 15:28:29 LOG5[14407:1]: 500 clients allowed

It depends on the machine (hardware, operating system). The critical limit on 32-bit machines could be: http://lwn.net/Articles/75174/
