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

By | May 30, 2011

You may see the following notice in the system log. You need to raise the max open file in both system limit file and named configuration.

Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add :

named soft nofile 4096

Inside the /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf, add in the option section :

files 4096;
