Hi All

I’ve just installed a copy of ethereal (from www.thewrittenword.com) on HPUX 11.
It all seemed to install ok and even took care of all the dependancies.

However when I run it from /opt/TWWfsw/ethereal/bin , the main window appears but I get a lot of error panes complaining about
too many open files

Could not open global filter file
"/opt/TWWfsw/ethereal010/share/colorfilters": Too many open files.

Could not open filter file
"//.ethereal/colorfilters": Too many open files.

I don;t think it’s a maxfiles issue because if I run sar while firing up ethereal I get :

hpdev-root$:sar -v 5 10

Also, I can’t seem to find ethereal.conf or a preferences file anywhere.

Thanks
