I have been having a very weird problem with an esix database I am writting. Once I get around 14 connections to the database, I am unable to connect any more and weird things start happening. Once I reach the limit I can't run any programs (getting either a Killed responce from the shell or an out of memory). The number of jobs running is no where close to NPROC, and there appears to be more than enough swap space left. I have tried adjusting the STREAMS parameteres and there seems to be no effect. The database requires a large number of TCP/IP connections, netstat shows around 60 when I can no longer accept connections. The database itself consists of a central server that handles requests for records, there is a second process that forks when it recieves a connection (from a PC using ethernet or a local terminal program), this second process also connects to the main server. Any ideas what limit I am exceeding?
