Let's say squid_start.sh. Put following lines in the script. # Setting number of file descriptors ulimit -HSn 2048 # Assuming default location of squid installation exec /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid Now use this script to start the squid server. This way you can set number of file descriptors prier to start squid process. Sometimes you might need super user privileges to access ulimit utility. Remember that you do not need to do any thing at the squid compilation. If still the problem is there, this might be due to some other problem (http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200503/0454.html). I am afraid then I can not help. Good luck! Sumith
