What, if any would be the upper limit that may be
set for NFILE and NINODE in /usr/sys/conf/master for
a 286?
What determines this limit?
What would be the most painless way of finding out
if a value has taken effect for these variables?
Many thanks in advance as usual.

However, on sco xenix 2.2.1, I see no such animal in the master. Is this value hard coded into the kernal? What is it's value? Again, many thanks. -- Barton A.

If you will run the sysadmsh and do a configure options, you will see one option for disk and buffers. NFILE is the number of open files that you can have simultaneously (I think it defaults to 100). It can create problems as you have more users. You will see a msg come up on the console NOFILE NOFILE NOFILE without any further explanation. Just kill a few of the tasks, reconfigure the kernel, reboot the system, and you problems will be take care of. -- .. Computer Consulting Service .. Bob Willey .. .. P.O.
