RE: Too many open files to the master oninit process

Heinz Usinf IDS, each chunk is classed as a file for the O/S and each can be opened by a cpu. You should configure your kernel to allow this many open files on top of any the users need. Use sar -v to check number of open files against number of available files (file-sz) and the number of times this was exceeded. As this is a kernel parameter unless you can amend it dynamically you will need to reboot, I'm afraid I am not familiar with SCO.
