See how many open files your system supports, with a kernel 2.4.26 and
256M memory default is 26208 open files.

# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
26208

You can double the value pretty safely

echo "65535" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max

To have new value set on a boot put it in a /etc/sysctl.conf like

fs.file-max=65535
