Let me ask this again. When I was running X on my VAXstation 2000 (Ultrix 2.2) and on my Sun 3/60 (SunOS 3.5), I noticed I was limited to only about 20 connections to the X server on the Sun, but could open a least 30 on the Vax. At the time I was told that the differing limits were a reflection of differing limits on the per-process number of open file descriptors: 32 in SunOS 3.5, 64 in Ultrix. But now, after upgrading my sun to 4.0.3 (with a per-process limit of 64 file descriptors), I can still only open about 20 connections to my X server. How can I raise this limit?
