Could someone explain how FD_SETSIZE affects things ? If one requires it to be more than 256 as defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h, is it just a matter of changing the value in : /usr/include/sys/types.h AND /sys/sys/types.h AND re-building the kernel and any affected applications. How often will this be important and if so, will it appear as a parameter in /sys/i386/conf/LINT I admit to being a little confused by the defaults for file descriptors in /bin/sh, modifications to this using sysctl and mods using limit in csh/tcsh Thanks for your time in what is probably a buzy period for the development team. Thanks Wayne
