how can i change the MAX file no each process can open?

First, you need to get the filehandle-patch from <A HREF="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/local/kernel/"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/local/kernel/</A">ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/local/kernel/</A</A>>. I use succussfully version 8.01 of the patch on a 2.0.36 kernel (although it is against 2.0.34 sources). I don't think that the patch will work on 2.2.x kernels although I haven't tried it yet. Patch your kernel, and then configure the max files per process - there is a new option when you run make config. Finally, after you reboot with the new kernel, make use of ulimit, and increase the allowed open files per user-id. You will find more information on this in the man page of bash (I assume that bash is your default shell) if you search for 'ulimit'.
