You've got to find out why your system is running out of file descriptors. Without doing that, this will happen again and again. I'm going to suggest you look at clamd. Qmail-Scanner doesn't run as a daemon (and it's issues like this that makes me loath to do so), so it can't be directly responsible. Do you run clamd under daemontools? (as a supervise script). If so, stop it. Run it as a rc-script instead. I have found and heard of so many problems with memory leaks/etc that make clamd under daemontools a very bad idea. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
