I am trying to run INN-1.5.1 on a P5 with NetBSD 1.2 and keep getting a
message about "Too many open files" which then stops the news-server.
Can someone tell me what parameter to change in the config to up the 
number of per-process open files??  I have looked in the various sources
(like the FAQs) and couldn't find it.  And while I'm at it, what document
should I have to lookup these parameters up in??  Is there a doc on kernel
configuration that I just haven't located yet??
