Jean-Louis,
I think the Solaris 10x86 build does in fact create a 32-bit binary.
[finsen]: /usr/local/libexec/amanda > file amandad
amandad: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1 [FPU], dynamically
linked, not stripped
If I'm understanding the docs below correctly this means that
we need to build the binaries differently in order to make
more than 256 file descriptors available. A build issue rather
than an OS issue.
What do you think ?
thank you,
Brian
