You need to set ulimit -n <newlimit> before you compile and run Squid. Maybe you don't need to do it before compilation these days, I forget. ulimit -n 32768 check ulimit -a Then ./configure make make install put ulimit -n 32768 in the startup script start squid check cachemgr "info" page and/or the cache.log; it'll say how many file descriptors its starting with.
