Comment 5 for bug 1390132

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
squid-3.2.9-1.fc18.x86_64

It's not possible to change the number of file descriptors available to squid at runtime with either the "max_filedescriptors" option or by specifying the open files limit in systemd squid unit file.

Attempting to use max_filedescriptors option gets an error:
WARNING: max_filedescriptors disabled. Operating System setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) is missing.

Rebuilding squid without the "--with-filedescriptors=16384" option in the spec file causes squid to inherit the build environments open files limit as its default (i.e. 1024 as a user), but the squid unit file option "LimitNOFILE=16384" is now obeyed and set if systemd is used to start squid. The max_filedescriptor option also starts working at this point.

Can we get squid built without the "--with-filedescriptors=16384" build option. Thank you.
