My Zimbra installation has in /etc/security/limits.conf already two entries, but Post 81 says they should be 'root' and in my limits.conf they are 'zimbra'. Should I change them to root? I think not...?
UPDATE: apparently, one has to add these two lines mentioned in post 81 to the file. So my /etc/security/limits.conf now reads:
# End of file
zimbra soft nofile 524288
zimbra hard nofile 524288
#
Bug 42870 – "Bad file descriptor" SocketException causes system failure every several hours
root soft nofile 524288
root hard nofile 524288
The two lines starting with 'zimbra' where already there, the two lines starting with 'root' where added.
