We have a *busy* mail server (PPro 200/128MB) running the 2.0.30 Kernel
and are getting "File Table Overflow" periodically. I figure that we
need to up the maximum file descriptors, so I grepped the source tree
and did not find any defines like that (except UNIX_MAX_FD in net/).
I wanted to tweak this for the 2.0.33 Kernel before putting it into
production. What is the define for the maximum number of File descriptors,
and where can I find more kernel tunables?

Thanks,
Perry
