[389-users] too many fds open

[Paul Robert Marino]

you need to edit /etc/security/limits.conf
add an entry for nofile the the default is 1024 the max is 65536 (1024 * 
64 ) here is an extreme example setting it to the max for all users

"
*               hard    nofile          65536
*               soft     nofile          65536
"

after you have made the change log out and log back in you can use 
"ulimit -a " to verify after you log back in
then restart the directory server.
