Hello everyone,
Tor can generally raise the limits itself, though, when started as root. Can you post the error message that caused you to ask this question ?
There's no error message, I followed this thread:
"Tor Server - DDOS or High Load"
there were talking about ulimits and I checked mine.
I also have to confess that there is no
rc_ulimit="-n NNNNNN"
option in my torrc file.
and tell us how you start Tor?
I start tor as the "debian-tor" user and with the delivered tools, that is:
/etc/init.d/tor start
Besides that, it seems to be very difficult for my relay (nickname ione) to get the "guard" flag, and I wondered if it may have any relation.
You are setting your BandwidthRate to 256K - it will never get the Guard flag. If you raise the rate limiting, it might get the flag in time (if the bandwidth rate is higher than a critical number of nodes) -Jeremy
