It still only let us have 64 files open. (FreeBSD 2.2-current) After searching around for 64 through all the C and H files we found a #define in syslimits.h: #define OPEN_MAX 64 Which also claimed to be the per process file descriptor limit. Why are their two different parameters? Under Ultrix, we just changed the one file in params.c and it was done. Seems to me these should be the same. Comments? Rob -- Rob Miracle Tantalus Inc.
