[LUAU] Sendmail Strangeness

[The Tuba God]

>I run it on a LAN... no problems with it.... I'm stumped. Any logs?

Yes indeed -- but not in the mail log didn't even think to look in the
syslog before... (whoops)

In Syslog:

Feb 23 16:56:21 wso sendmail[13817]: QAA13803: SYSERR(root): Cannot open
hash da
tabase /etc/aliases.db: Too many open files in system
Feb 23 16:56:21 wso sendmail[13817]: QAA13803: SYSERR(UID0): Can't create

ript file xfQAA13803: Too many open files in system
Feb 23 16:56:21 wso sendmail[13817]: QAA13803: SYSERR(UID0): Can't open
/dev/nul
l: Too many open files in system

I guess that might have something to do with it...  Is the max number of
files to have open something that's stored in the kernel?  How would I
change it?  And, what should I change it to (we run a fairly large web
server and shell server on this machine -- plenty of free memory)?
