I've just migrated my home servers from Debian etch to lenny and bind9 now 
gives me this:

named[17207]: max open files (1024) is smaller than max sockets (4096)

Redhat's BTS [1] tells me this is a kernel issue thatshould be solved [2] 
by the "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY" patch in 
2.6.28.

One of my servers (DNS slave) is running the standard Debian 2.6.26 
kernel, the other (DNS master) is running 2.6.29-rc6 so that does include 
that patch. But both show the error!

I'd appreciate your input where to take this.

Cheers,
FJP
