[Zope] OT: maybe - max file, proc limits on linux and zope

[Bak @ kedai]

hi all,
this may be off topic, feel free to ignore.

while trying to stop zope i encountered error stating max file limit met.  
what i did to stop this is running
echo "8192" >/proc/sys/fs/file-max

can i do this?  good bad?   any tips on tuning max file open, process open, 
etc?

linux and zope newbie <--that's me.

tia
