[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng too many open files

[Pedro Rafael Alves Simoes]

Hello,

I'm receiving many messages on my syslog-ng like this:

syslog-ng[20419]: Error opening file for writing; filename="...",
error='Too many open files (24)'
syslog-ng[20419]: Error accepting new connection; error='Too many open
files (24)'

In lsof output, the syslog-ng daemon has many files opened and when I
try to login from other console or change to root account, it gets
blocked.

I've increased the sysctl fs.file-max to 300000 but the problem persists.

Any ideas what's going wrong?
