- Hi,
- I've been trying to increase the number of open file descriptors
- per process and failing miserably. The call setrlimit() suppose
- to set the soft and hard limit. The default is 64 for the soft
- and 256 for the hard (I'm running SunOS 4.1.3). I could increase
- the soft limit but I could not increase the hard limit beyond
- 256 (even when I'm the superuser). I tried looking under the
- kernel and could only find the resource for the soft limit:
- RLIMIT_NOFILE = 6. Can any of you wizards out there please
- help me ? Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks.
- Please respond to
