asterisk users - Feb 2008 - Explain Cause of Error: manager.c: Accept returned -1: Too many open files

Hi List,
While I know that "upping" ulimit will fix the issue I am trying to
understand what will cause it. I have a few set ups that are almost exactly the
same yet some machines used to give this error often and others don't. I
also noticed the error a lot more on my boxes running 1.4.X.

TIA.

Dovid

There are *lots* of things in Asterisk that open file handles, and to
try to track them down is probably a waste of time.  Just configure your
system to allow Asterisk to open more files, and call it good!

Jared,
Thanks. I like to know my errors and what cause them. Anyone available to 
help me pick at their brain to see where its coming from or am I really 
barking up the wrong tree ?
