Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Heya, I'm planning to run an ircd off of one of the machines at work, and I need to compile it with 1024 file descriptors. Unfortunately, a limit turns up: [sean@whitestar]-~> limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 524288 kbytes stacksize 65536 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse 32768 kbytes descriptors 360 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 179 I am in the class 'root'. I need to be able to use 1024 file descriptors, and 'unlimit' doesn't do anything. :/ Ideas? -Sean-Paul Rees __ ____ ____ ____ __ / / _ / ___|| _ \| _ \ _ \ \ | | (_) _____ \___ \| |_) | |_) | _____ (_) | | | | _ |_____| ___) | __/| _ < |_____| _ | | | | (_)____ |____/|_| |_| \_\ ____(_) | | \_\ |_____| Sean-Paul Rees |_____| /_/ sean@dreamfire.net ++++ whois: SR5176 http://www.dreamfire.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
