Gnome config daemon gconfd-2 running out of file descriptors

Hello,

I need to increase the maximum number of open files for the Gnome configuration daemon, /usr/lib/gconfd-2. There is one of these for each username, no matter how many sessions they've got.

We have lots of people using DTUs to log into a Sun Ray server using the same account (bad idea, I know, but it wasn't my bad idea), and we are hitting the default limit of 256, as confirmed by errors in /var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages, and by counting the number of descriptors in /proc/<pid>/fd. The server is running Solaris 10 x86.

So what's the best way to increase the limit? I want to do it just for this process, not for every process owner by that username.

Regards,
Phil T

l2tpns

L2TPNS(8)						    System Management Commands							 L2TPNS(8)

NAME

       l2tpns - Layer 2 tunneling protocol network server (LNS)

SYNOPSIS

       l2tpns [-d] [-v] [-c file] [-h hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       l2tpns is a daemon for terminating layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP: RFC 2661) sessions.

       Once running, l2tpns may be controlled by telnetting to port 23 on the machine running the daemon and with the nsctl utility.

OPTIONS

       -d     Detach from terminal and fork into the background. By default l2tpns will stay in the foreground.

       -v     Increase verbosity for debugging. Can be used multiple times.

       -c file
	      Specify configuration file.

       -h hostname
	      Force hostname to hostname.

FILES

       /etc/l2tpns/startup-config
	      The default configuration file.

       /etc/l2tpns/ip_pool
	      IP address pool configuration.

       /etc/l2tpns/users
	      Username/password configuration for access to admin interface.

SIGNALS

       SIGHUP Reload the config from disk and re-open log file.

       SIGTERM, SIGINT
	      Stop process.  Tunnels and sessions are not terminated.  This signal should be used to stop l2tpns on a cluster node where there are
	      other machines to continue handling traffic.

       SIGQUIT
	      Shut down tunnels and sessions, exit process when complete.
