[squid-users] File Descriptors causing an issue in OpenBSD

Hi Everybody

I have recompiled Squid the way i saw in one of the how to. this is what i did

1)I uninstalled Squid
2)
#ulimit -HSn 8192
#then recompiled squid with --with-maxfd=8192
then in my starting squid script i have added ulimit -HSn 8192

But still it shows the same number of file descriptors
File descriptor usage for squid:
        Maximum number of file descriptors: 1024
        Largest file desc currently in use: 939
        Number of file desc currently in use: 929
        Files queued for open: 1
        Available number of file descriptors: 94
        Reserved number of file descriptors: 100
        Store Disk files open: 19
        IO loop method: kqueue

There is something fishy about it coz my cache is only 1.1G . and
moreover there is a file squid.core in my /etc/squid and i do not
understand its porpose. i searched for it online but still i did
understand it. Is my squidclient giving me stale results. I had even
cleaned the cache before reinstalling squid. Is there some different
way to increase the file descriptors in OpenBSD. Kindly Help.

Regards
Preetish
