The OS enforces a limit on max open files
Hard Limit: 512 MAXCONNECTIONS: 1024
Fix MAXCONNECTIONS
Possible error encountered (IRCd seemingly not started)
=====================================================
Check above for possible errors, and this output of
ircd.log. If you cannot solve the problem, read
Unreal.nfo on where to get support

Problem :
If you get error message like this:

The OS enforces a limit on max open files
Hard Limit: 512 MAXCONNECTIONS: 1024
Fix MAXCONNECTIONS

or something similar, then your OS is limiting your maximum number of open files/sockets.

Solution:
1. You need to rerun ./Config and answer the number showed in “Hard Limit” (512 in this example) to the question :

How many file descriptors (or sockets) can the IRCd use?
[512] ->  

2. recompile (make clean; make).
