One of my servers had some strange problems during mild ftp load...
About 90 ftp users, all active, mail routing, many shells, http, etc.
Then I got hundreds of ``Unable to load interpreter'' and ``Too many
open files on filesystem'' error messages. Running processes were still
ok, but I couldn't use keyboard in their consoles. I hardly managed to log
in as root and kill all those processes (ftpd was the biggest problem).
The server is:
PII 233, 192MB DIMM SDRAM, TULIP running @ 100Mb/s, ultra2wide scsi
Quantum Viking @ AHA-2940 U2W;
kernel 2.0.36 (compiled with gcc-2.8.1, but can it be the problem here???),
throughly modified RedHat 5.2, wu-ftpd-2.4.2beta18.
