Max. open files and mounts allowed by kernel

I know that the maximum number of mounts allowed is determined by NR_SUPER
in the kernel's fs.h file. What determines the maximum number of open
files? NR_OPEN?

I am getting the following error and would appreciate it if someone could
tell me how to increase the allowable number of open files.

Mar 13 05:02:45 mach nfsd[159]: non-standard errno: 24 (Too many open
files)

(I also have NR_SUPER upped to 128, since 64 seems to be insufficent on a
public machine w/amd).

Thanks
