2 possbilities: 1) xinetd can control the amount of TCP connection for any service that runs under it (/etc/xinetd.d/) Again, this ONLY affects programs that allow xinetd to control the service.
2) ptys. By default I believe that Redhat's kernel is configured for 512, but it you build a kernel from source, the default is 256. This could also be causing your restriction. You can check the number ptys by doing a `dmesg`, or more /var/log/dmesg. -Rob > This is something that I should know but don't, and can't find info on > either.
