ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

# pssh -i -p 1024 -h hosts "uptime"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pssh", line 118, in <module>
    do_pssh(hosts, cmdline, opts)
  File "/usr/bin/pssh", line 89, in do_pssh
    statuses = manager.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/psshlib/manager.py", line 74, in run
    self.iomap.poll(wait)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/psshlib/manager.py", line 242, in poll
    rlist, wlist, _ = select.select(rlist, wlist, [], timeout)
ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

CentOS release 6.2 (Final) Python 2.6.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Could you clarify what options make it crash? Does it crash all the time, or 
only when "-p" is as high as 1024, or is there any other factor that seems to 
be responsible? Thanks.

-p option made this result.  What is max value of parallel connection?
If i try without -i option , parallel connection value is less...

More than +3000 hosts. I want finish jobs asap... .
Requires many connections.

Is there any system tuning point? TIA

Many systems define a maximum number of file descriptors. On my Fedora system, 
if I specify `uname -n`, it reports that the maximum number of file descriptors 
is 1024. This is configurable, of course, but it's not something that pssh can 
change.

my sys configuration is 

ulimit -n  : 16000
net.core.somaxconn = 65535

What is  max value of -p option?

Interesting. It appears that select can only handle 1024 file descriptors. 
We've been using select instead of poll because it's more portable, but it 
looks like I'll have to change this and support both.

Support for select.poll is now included in commit 3158e60. Please try it out, 
and let me know whether it works for you. This feature will be included in the 
next release of pssh. Thanks for your help.
