Well, threaded MPMs or large vhost configurations won't run as shipped. And the httpd doesn't increase its own fd limit like competing servers do (or like 1.3 does, for that matter). And until this fix, the httpd wasn't operating in accordance with its own documentation, which claimed that the server would increase its own file descriptor limit as needed (second paragraph of http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/fd-limits.html ) >In order to use our product in certain ways your system may have >to be configured to allow our product to use more file descrioptors. > >Now you have made it so that the apachectl script overrides my >environment limits, this is badness. > What's your use case for setting lower environmental limits? --Brian
