A. Even though most UNIX systems will operate correctly using the defaults set at install, some configurations will give this error unless the kernel is tuned. Try using a value of 60 for the number of maximum files per process (NOFILES) and reboot the computer. On SCO Open Server 5 with filePro 4.5 set NOFILES equal to 120. Higher or lower on some systems may cause problems.
