[ILUG] too many open files ....

[ILUG] too many open files ....

Hi,

I'm running SuSE 6.3, 2.2.16 on a PIII 600.

I'm getting an error message, "too many open files on system" .. and I'm trying to track down the problem. I've checked the /proc/sys/fs/file-nr and doesn't look like it's in trouble, it reads "4096 70 4096"

I've also edited the files, and recompiled the kernel
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h
to increase the NR_OPEN variable ... 

My question really is, where is the error comming from? Or how do I find out what's causing it?

Any ideas?
cheers
E
