(The machine will be an IRC server.) I started by setting things to 2048 in my login class, which resulted in a limit of 360 fd's. At that point, I set OPEN_MAX in the kernel to 2048 and recompiled. Now my limit shows 1064. What else do I need to do to get this limit up to the level I need? Thanks, Chris -- Christopher M.
