I am trying to increase the ulimit on my AIX PS/2 above the default
value of 8192. Is their some configuration file that can be changed to
allow this? I changed the ulim_file value in /etc/master and rebuilt
the kernel...but to no avail. Did not seem to make any difference at
all.
Thanks for any help you can give,

Log in as 'root' or run 'su' shell and use 'users' command to change
the file_size (I can't verify the parameter name now but you'll find
it) parameter for each user you want to. Usually reading manuals will
help too ;-)

Under the sysparms label put ulim_file = (whatever) Example: sysparms: ulim_file = 64000 buffers = 400 Look at the documentation for /etc/master and /etc/system to get a listing of modifiable kernel parameters.

You can also make a per user limit in the appropriate field in the /etc/passwd file - we don't use that method since we share passwd files amoung a number of different machines running different versions of Unix and AIX. According to the Technical Reference manual the format for the additional data entry (other systems call this the comment or gecos field) is: fill_name/file_limit;site_info;site_exec_perm For more information see page 3-122 and 3-123 of the AIX Operating System Technical Reference manual. You can probably also use the adduser command to make the change as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above views are my own, not those of my employer.
