1. Edit /usr/include/bit/types.h to have __FD_SETSIZE defined to at
least the amount of filedescriptors you need.

2. As root, run "ulimit -HSn NNNN" where NNNN is at least the numbers of
filedescriptors you need to support.

3. From the same shell as you ran the ulimit command, go to you Squid
source directory, "make clean", "./configure ....", "make install". If
configure fails to detect the new limit then you have either not edited
types.h, or failed to run the ulimit command.

4. Edit the script you use to start Squid to make sure "ulimit -HSn
NNNN" is run before you start Squid.

5. Verify in cache.log or cachemgr that Squid reports the new
filedescriptor limit.
