[Bug 494015] [NEW] named warns: max open files (1024) is smaller than max sockets (4096)

[Christian Reis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bind9

When starting up the Jaunty-current bind9 daemon, a warning is printed
out in the daemon log which says:

   max open files (1024) is smaller than max sockets (4096)

ii  bind9
1:9.5.1.dfsg.P2-1ubuntu0.3                   Internet Domain Name Server

You can work around this with a "-S 1024" in /etc/defaults/bind9, but
this has been reported to be a kernel bug that should have been fixed in
2.6.28: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/max-open-files-1024-smaller-than-
max-sockets/ and yet, this server is running:

  Linux anthem 2.6.28-15-server #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 11:50:50 UTC
2009 i686 GNU/Linux
