It's been awhile since I've fiddled with this stuff, but I think what you
want is in /proc/sys/fs/. I think you want to change file-max (this is
set at 4096 on my system) and possibly some others.
Definitely do a google search on this, as it's been discussed in many
places. It shouldn't be tough to come up with better info than I've
provided.
