11. (Unix only.) Your operating system probably limits the number of open
file descriptors per process to 1024 (or even less). If you plan to be
running a fast exit node, this is probably not enough. You should run
"ulimit -n 8192" (as root) and then su to the user that will run Tor,
or change your defaults (on Debian, add a line like "toruser hard nofile
8192" to your /etc/security/limits.conf file).

the user that runs the Tor process. If that doesn't work, see <a

FAQ entry</a> for other suggested ways to run "ulimit -n 8192" before
you launch Tor.
