im running zope 2.3.3 on freeBSD 4.2 STABLE - #0, when i run zope's start script manually (or my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zope.sh - manually), i get the following messages:

Aug 17 20:03:54 vertigo syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system

Aug 17 20:03:54 vertigo /kernel: file: table is full

Aug 17 20:03:55 vertigo last message repeated 4 times

the odd thing is that despite the errors, zope starts, and runs great. if the script runs at bootup, zope doesnt start, even tho the script completes, and no error returns.

Additional information below:

the machine is AMD K6/2-400, 128MB

"uname -a" returns:

FreeBSD <snip> 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000

jkh@bento.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386

"sysctl -a | grep files" returns:

kern.maxfiles: 1064

kern.maxfilesperproc:1064

kern.openfiles: 170

p1003_1b.mapped_files: 0

and "fstat | wc -l" returns:

394

at this point, i sorta see the problem, but how to fix it?

thank you,

Shaun
