Did someone encounter this before? I have to force a reboot to be able for user to login back.

Any comments is highly appreciated! Thank you.

If you want can to increase this value, but carefull, amount ram memory you have?. For a machine with 1280MB set it with 81920. (256 for every 4M of RAM +-)

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add this

fs.file-max = 81920

loads the new parameters of kernel

# sysctl -p

and try it again
