[angelbro]

Hi all.
In CWP > User Accounts > New Account
There is a field that "Open Fiels" - "Limit number of open files for account".
What does it means exactly?

Additionally what the most ideal number of fields(Inode and Process limit) is?

This limits number of open files user can have, its recommended to have it at 100 or higher as users/applications in many cases can have many files open at the same time.
