Thanks Dieter,
To change number of open files permanently on Centos you can edit the nofile (number of files setting) setting in /etc/security/limits.conf
* - nofile 8192
for example this sets the number of open files to 8192 for all (domains), enforced for both hard and soft limits.
for more info:
man limits.conf
I logged out and back in to make the setting take on my machine.
Cheers, George

Hi,
I recieved my first of these errrors from openldap server today.
slapd[1648]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files
The faqomatic suggest that I do the following:
env CPPFLAGS="-DOPENLDAP_FD_ SETSIZE=8192" ./configure
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1126.html
Is there anyway I can set this without having to build openldap again?
ulimit -a shows the default values, ulimit -n <value> sets the number of open files.
