crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000023

[Ali Kouider]

Hi,

When any user logs into the system by giving his user name and password, he gets the following

Please wait...checking for disk quotas

crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000023

crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000023

Connection closed by foreign host.

... and is then logged out.

How to resolve this error?

Alvi,

Belaeve your file table is full, to resolve your problem increase the kernel parameter nfile.

Hi Alvi,

I agree with R-J.
Error #23 is ENFILE - File Table Overflow.
So it appears you need to increase the kernel parameter NFILE.
This will require a reboot.

The kernel parameter nfile ALWAYS needs to be increased in a growing system. Double or triple the current value. You can run sar -v 1 to see how big it is (inder the file-sz column. The righthand number is the maximum number of files that can ever be opened at the same time, and the lefthand number is the current number of open files. Be aggressive with this number as having it too low or increasing it slowly means a lot of reboots. If nfile=500, change it to 2000. If nfile=2000, change it to 8000. nfile has no meaningful upper limit so setting it to 90,000 is fine if you are currently using 40,000 open files.
