Hi,

We are currently running into problems with the cups-1.2b2-rhel4 
package, used in combination with Samba to provide printing services to 
Windows clients. CUPS seems to run fine for a while, but after a while 
it stops printing. The following lines can be found in 
/var/log/cups/error_log:
> E [14/Mar/2006:14:01:33 +0100] Unable to create job status pipes - Too 
> many open files.
>
> E [14/Mar/2006:14:03:19 +0100] Unable to open "/dev/null" - Too many 
> open files.
Any idea what could be causing the "Too many open files" errors?

Regards,
Joost
