Sorry to pepper you with so many questions... but here are some more... What do you get when you type: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
On one of my well-running RH 9 boxes, I get: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 26208 cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max 4095 You can adjust these values by becoming root and typing in something like: echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max Note: this is not a recommendation (well it is, but it's not *my* recommendation...) BTW: I'm guessing that you are not running either NFS or NIS (NIS is a way of sharing user information amoung a lot of unix servers) I also guess that hda1 is your /boot and that hda3 is / That indicates that your install is using one IDE drive. I hope your mail traffic is not too high! You might want to drop the Open Relay checks for a week and see if that makes a difference. I'm not sure, but Sendmail may be holding open the access.db file while it does these checks.
