Hi,
Besides file-max and file-nr is there anywhere else I should be looking to solve a C program giving me 'too many open files' problem? (centos 3.4)
While the program is complaining here were the values
file-max 209632
file-nr 3655 258 209632
lsof | wc -l around 7000 during and about 1111 less after I closed the application.
Any ideas? thx

Check any ulimits imposed on the process you are running. # ulimit -n 1024
You should be able to increase that value to your file-max value.
and
FD_SETSIZE defined in: /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024
If you are feeling silly you can modify the value of FD_SETSIZE and recompile your software.
In either case, standard warnings apply.

If the program is running as a non-root user, you will need to grant the user in question a limit higher than 1024 by adding a "nofile" statement in "/etc/security/limits.conf" Once that is done, you will need to open a new session as that user. You can verify that your settings took hold by typing "ulimit -n".
