<p>Hardly the case. This is a pretty well mannered mailing list compared to some to which I subscribe. </p>
<p>But, to be constructive, please do not top post. It's very confusing when trying to follow a threaded discussion. </p>
<p>So, please answer the question asked -do you have an entry in your nginx.conf for "worker_rlimit_nofile"?</p>
<p>Posting your full nginx.conf might help.</p>

<p>To which settings(s) are you referring?</p>

<p>Maybe an issue with how you've configured *your* system which has nothing to do with nginx? Not to be one of those hostile, maladaped, arrogant people to whom you referred, but this isn't a Fedora mailing list. Perhaps you can find help there in determining what process(es) is/are using all of those file descriptors. Maybe one of them will hold your hand and not hurt your feelings in the process. Calling people names is certainly *not* a good way to get people to help you.</p>
