I agree... Of course the real question was with regard to how one deals with a wired-in ulimit that is too small. The most obvious way to crank it up at boot time is to build a surrogate version of /etc/init that makes a call to ulimit and then exec's the real init. It shouldn't be necessary to do anything else to make the default ulimit a different size. I haven't used this method. I cheated by changing the init source, the make for init is alot quicker than the make for the kernel :-) Steve Blasingame (all around bad guy) bsteve@eris.berkeley.edu ihnp4!occrsh!gorgo!bsteve /* Don't stick your hand out so far or it might go home in another car */
