[Linux-HA] Starting Dovecot from heartbeat...

I'm using heartbeat 1.2.5.

Dovecot reports: Fatal: epoll_create(): Too many open files (you may
need to increase /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances)

But only when heartbeat starts it.  Dovecot starts just fine by hand.

BTW, my kernel, now 2.6.30.9 doesn't have a
/proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances

Here's a reference to my post on the dovecot list about it:

Thanks,
John
