Hello, I just installed 2.2.2-RELEASE. The server (ircd) that I'll be running on it needs to have a large number of open fd's. Currently my system is set with a hard limit of 360 open files. I wish to increase that to 4096. I tried with sysctl -w kern.maxopenfiles=4096 but that didn't work when I used the limit command as root after that to increase my limit. How can I increase this value (ideally permanently)? Thanks alot, Yves Lepage
