Did you set the limit before you compiled it? The upper limit is set at compile time. I ran into this problem myself. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Superted666 [mailto:ruckafella@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Mon 7/5/2010 3:33 PM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: File Descriptors Hello, Got a odd problem with file descriptors im hoping you guys could help me out with? Background I'm running CentOS 5.5 and squid 3.0 Stable 5. The system is configured with 4096 file descriptors with the following : /etc/security/limits.conf * - nofile 4096 /etc/sysctl.conf fs.file-max = 4096 Also /etc/init.d/squid has ulimit -HSn 4096 at the start. Problem Running a ulimit -n on the box does indeed show 4096 connectors but squid states it is using 1024 despite what is said above. I noticed this because im starting to get warnings in the logs about file descriptors... Any help greatly appreciated.
