I did this (which worked for the time being) sysctl -w kern.maxfiles: 8192 kern.maxfilesperproc: 4096 This raises the limits but when I compile the IRCd and have the (hard limit) to 4096 or 8192 or even higher the error comes back and says its still stuck on 1064 Someone told me to store these limits (above) in a etc/sysctl.conf file but when I went to etc that file wasn't in there .. do I have to newly create the file or should it already be there? What I'm trying to do is to set the limit HIGH enough for the chat service to allow 8,192 or more users to connect to our chat service (this limit is what I'm trying to set the kernel to not the 1064 limit) Thanks again for your help =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Fallenstar CHAT Network | | "Supercharged for the 21st Century" | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
