That is consistent with my own observations. On my desktop ASCII machine the hard limit for nofile appeared to be set to an arbitrary limit of 4096. Unfortunately I, too, have no clue by what mechanism this limit is pre-configured. Note, however, that you can set both the hard and soft limits to the same value simultaneously in /etc/security/limits.conf by using a '-' (hyphen) in the <type> field (second column); for example: <username> - nofile 32000 Best regards Urban -- Sapere aude! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
