[PLUG] Linux Terminal Server... too many open files?

[Karl M. Hegbloom]

I think that "lsof" is showing not only open files, but also open
network connections...  It seems to me that they are relevant also
though, since when you write a program, you work with a file handle
for a socket just as for a file.  All I/O is done through file
handles; it's a generic interface.

If you access:

http://www.pdxlinux.org/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt.gz

... and read that, you'll know a lot more about it.
