Hey guys,
I just created a new relay on my new firewall box thats running openbsd, however I'm running into issues with ulimits: Failing because we have 991 connections already. Please raise your ulimit -n.
I tried editing login.conf (might be doing it wrong) to no avail
Anyone able to help me out ?

I use this snippet in my /etc/rc.local script:
ulimit -n 8192 /usr/local/bin/tor -f /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc
It seems to do pretty well for a middleman node. I think that's as far as it can be pushed, but it's also been a while since I've read the manpage for ulimit. For what it's worth, it has never (to mine memory) caused the box in question to lock up from resource starvation, so if you've got a decent amount of RAM in the machine it should not cause any problems.

Thanks :)
I actually decided to migrate the box to FreeBSD because Tor was also hoggin 100% CPU, and my hope was that the Via Padlock driver in OpenBSD would save me clock cycles, unfortunately the OpenBSD version works less well, on free my CPU is now around 50% all the time. (running a small via c7 1500mhz routerbox and pushing between 10-30mbit of tor on a 100/100 line)
