It _always_ must be increased to the wanted limit before running Squid. Whether you do it manually on the command line each time, or in the init.d script, or in some other custom starter script. My Ubuntu systems show default OS limits of just over 24K FD available. Building Squid with: ulimit -HSn 65535 && ./configure --with-filedescriptors=65535 ... make install starting: squid -f /etc/squid.conf squid shows 1024 starting: ulimit -Hsn 64000 && squid -f /etc/squid.conf squid shows 64000 Amos
