Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-55
Severity: grave
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
sysctl -p seemed to have stopped working on my (mostly) lenny
installation some time ago.
After peppering /lib/lsb/init-functions with lines like
[ -d /proc ] && echo -n "(filemax: `cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max`) "
I found this piece of damning evidence:
[...]
(filemax: 32768) Stopping boot logger: bootlogd (filemax: 8192).
[...]
Please make bootlogd not touch fs.file-max sysctl variable, or at
least not lower it. Userspace breaks in weird ways when there
are not enough fds available.
Regards,
Zoran
