This parameter is changed in /etc/system on a sun 2.8 box, which then
requires a reboot to apply it. In my experience, I've generally had to bump
some of those default system parameters up in Solaris, as any number of
programs I've worked with seem to run into those and similar issues.
As far as what you should set it to, I would do some research on it.
Sunmanagers.org's listmail would be a good spot to check, I'm sure someone's
asked for recommendations on it before, and there's a lot of very
knowledgeable people in that group.

Ken,
When you have "Too many open files" errors in ANY of your logs this is
usually indicative of an OS problem. I am not that familiar with Solaris so
I am not sure how the underlying kernel allows for more or less processes
along with files to be opened and closed for such processes. You really
should check with someone that knows SUN fairly well that can look at this
issue. But I can tell you that it is not a Legato issue.
