We tell the server software to go to 500 and linux gives back an error saying hardconfiged 254 connections. Change your server software back to 254. I have talked to alot of people about this and they say linux won't do it, I was wondering if FreeBSD would ? I know ftp.cdrom.com has 1200 but not sure if ftp is the same kinda connection as what im dealing with. I will probably get freebsd and try it out on another server before taking down our irc server. I have heard that FreeBSD is alot more powerful than Linux anyway. How does it compare to BSDI or SCO Unix? Anyway any information about this would be greatly apreciated.
