$ limits Resource limits (current): [...] openfiles 462357 say what ? This wastes tons of pointless close system calls in programs which use the suboptimal but best practice: for (i = 3; i < sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX); i++) close(i); For reference Linux seems to default to 1024, leaving it up to massive server processes to increase the limit for themselves. I'm all for autosizing things but this is just plain stupid... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
