Has anyone every seen this error message.

shl_load:
error loading library /usr/lib/libsec.2: fiel table overflow

I am getting this when trying to login to the server from console. This only happens after about 4 days of running.

Thanks

Hi Christopher,

Appears to me you're exceeding the nfile system kernel parameter.
Increase NFILE or better yet increase the MaxUsers parameter as nfile, nproc & such are calculated off this value.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi,

Increase the value of NFILE kernel parameter, rebuild the kernel and reboot the system.

Hope this helps.

The file table overflow error means the system file table is full. The max amount of files that the table can hold has reached its limit. You can increase this table by increasing the value of the "nfile" kernel parameter. Using SAM is the easiest way.
=>Kernel Configuration->Configurable Parameters
=>Select the 'maxusers' kernel and increase it.
=>Verify that the nproc and nfile values were increased.
=>Select Action->Create New Kernel and rebuilt the kernel.
=> Reboot when prompted.
