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. On Linux, you should add a line like "toruser hard nofile -8192" to your /etc/security/limits.conf file, where toruser is -the user that runs the Tor process. If that doesn't work, see this FAQ entry for other suggested ways to run "ulimit -n 8192" before you launch Tor.
