We have a NetBSD 1.2.1 machine running squid, Apache and BIND.
The /var/log/messages file is filling up with messages such as:

Oct  8 11:50:07 deimos syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Oct  8 11:50:07 deimos last message repeated 3 times
Oct  8 11:50:07 deimos /netbsd: file: table is full
Oct  8 11:50:07 deimos last message repeated 14 times

Why is it doing this and how can we fix it?

Cheers


Jon
