Hi; The way I see if they are running out is to monitor them, via cachemgr.cgi. Plot it is a good idea too. Remember that when you are using NTLM authentication, you have to keep at least 25% of unused FDs or 2*reservedFDs, because above that Squid will not use persistent connection anymore and NTML authentication will fail. Thanks to Henrik that discovered why I had NTLM problems. By the way, I created the bug number 1327 about this behavior.

Is their a way to see if my Squid is running out? I know how to find the limit but not sure if I have it set right. Does anyone know if CentOS linux requires a rebuilding of the kernel is the file descriptor is changed? I'm reading from Squid : The Definitive Guide about File Descriptors and I'm getting a little confused. I want to make sure I have this setup correctly on my new squid server. Brad
