Thanks to all you and all the members of the list who has supported me to rectify this problem. The startup/init script of squid was wrong, which comes in gentoo. It was setting the filedescriptor limit to 1024. I started it manually as suggested by Adrian Chadd, and it started showing 8192 file descriptors available. Once again thanx a ton. Now I want a suggestion from you that is 8192 file descriptor sufficient for 200 to 300 users in the network(High Traffic) or it should be more high. Other than this any other parameter in squid.conf to look for. I made it 8192 because of it is specified in the ebuild. --- Adrian Chadd <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, Jan 25, 2008, bijayant kumar wrote: > > I have already entered that line > > > > cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep nofile > > * hard nofile 8192 > > > > No luck till now.
