We ran into this problem when we started using Informix SQL and 4GL. Evidentally, each time an Informix process would be executed from their menu system it would open serveral files. SCO support helped us with with right away. Raise the NFILE and NINODE parameters and relink the kernel. I have 8 users, normally all using Informix, and have had to raise the NFILE and NINODE to 600. SCO said the 400 recommended limit in the config can be ignored as long as you have sufficent memory. -- Scott O'Connell UUCP: {nosc, ucsd, hplabs!hp-sdd}!crash!ipars!scotto ARPA: crash!ipars!scotto@nosc.mil INET: scotto@ipars.cts.com

You will have to run /usr/sys/conf/configure and increase the NFILE and NINODE counts, then relink the kernel. -- Dave Hammond daveh@marob.masa.com uunet!masa.com!marob!daveh

Will see if that fixes it, if not I will continue to raise it. I never have more than like 3 users on my system at one time so I should be ok. Thanks again to you and all else who sent me email.
