Hello
I have cyrus-imap 2.2.8 configured and running but when it start, it writes this to imapd.log:
Nov 18 14:19:00 piscis master[3671]: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted.
Any way cyrus goes up.
But I want get ride off this message and evidently something is wrong.
Thanks

This is a "normal" error message on Linux (at least, maybe other OS's as well). Cyrus tries to set the fdlimit to -1 (max). It will fall back to setting the fdlimit to your system's max, which usually depends on the value set by ulimit. In my cyrus init script, I put:
# Crank up the file limits ulimit -n 209708 ulimit -u 2048
to increase the fdlimit and process limits before starting cyrus.
