To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 08:55:58 -0500 (CDT) Cc: john@starfire.mn.org X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am running an IRC server that I am finding can only accept 260 clients before it segment faults and dumps core. I've tried to change the FD_SETSIZE to a large number to get around this problem and it doesn't appear to work. When I set the FD_SETSIZE to 384, 512, or 1024 the server won't connect to the IRC network. There are a couple of other sites running FreeBSD 2.1 like I am that are running into the same problem. The problem doesn't appear to affect BSDI 2.1 or NetBSD. Any assistance with this problem would be appreciated.
