The OS enforces a limit on max open files
If you get: The OS enforces a limit on max open files Hard Limit: 512 MAXCONNECTIONS: 1024 Fix MAXCONNECTIONS or something similar, then your OS is limiting your maximum number of open files/sockets... You need to rerun ./Config and answer the number showed in "Hard Limit" (512 in this example) to the question "How many file descriptors (or sockets) can the IRCd use?", and after that recompile: make clean; make; make install
