[Netsplitter-question] netsplitter dies: too many files open

[Edward v. K. <ed...@ni...>]

Hi

Firstly, by the way, I can't see the mailing list archives? 
The link: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=netsplitter-question
doesn't seem work.

Secondly, I can't get netfilter to work, yet it is JUST what i need.
Maybe someone could help me?

I compiled and installed it. I run it at the command line as
"netsplitter -v 1"

I ran: 
	iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -j DNAT -p tcp --dport 7777 --to-destination 196.7.14.3:5122

The machine doing the netsplitting is 196.7.14.3
As a test, I'm trying to connect to 196.7.14.16 on port 7777.

On 196.7.14.16 i run "netcat -l -p 7777"

On 196.7.14.3 in run "netcat 196.7.14.3 7777", but it justs returns to the command line.

proxy:~# netcat 196.7.14.16 7777
proxy:~# netcat 196.7.14.16 7777

The log shows lots of these:
[Mon Mar 03 17:55:40] [DEBUG CONNECT] 196.7.14.16 -> ppp0
[Mon Mar 03 17:55:40] [DEBUG CONNECT] 196.7.14.16 -> ppp1
[Mon Mar 03 17:55:40] [DEBUG CONNECT] 196.7.14.16 -> ppp0
[Mon Mar 03 17:55:40] [DEBUG CONNECT] 196.7.14.16 -> ppp1

But after several attempts, it bombs out, like so:

proxy:~/netsplitter# ./netsplitter_20021204/netsplitter -v 1
Setting debug level = '1'
/var/log/netsplitter.log: Too many open files
/var/log/netsplitter.log: Too many open files
/var/log/netsplitter.log: Too many open files
/var/log/netsplitter.log: Too many open files
/var/log/netsplitter.log: Too many open files
socket->out: Too many open files

Can anyone help me?
