When you have a large setup with many hosts and many services the default "rlimit" on "descriptors" (256) is too low, which causes file leaks in /var/nagios/spool/checkcommands (when I found it we had accumulated about 600K files there :-) Raising the limit to "unlimited" causes "check_dns" to coredump instead... Setting it to 1024 seems to work better though. I’ve found a couple of other problems with Nagios on Solaris 10 too…
