I do not know how much it is on FreBSD, but on SunOS4.1.x e.g. this is on 64. So if you have ~50 Feeds (In and out) then this limit may be reached (there are some descriptors for internal use) and the process gets a message from the kernel that it exceeded the soft limit. You can change this by changind NO_FILE (I think) in config.data and recompiling innd. -- Heiko W.Rupp Gerwigstr.5 D-76131 Karlsruhe +49 721 9661521 ## CrossPoint v3.03 ##
