    This is probably a FAQ, I have searched everywhere I can think of though.

    By default, Linux 2.2.14 has the max file descriptors hard coded to
    1024. I know that there are about half a dozen files that need to be
    modified and changes need to be made in /proc at boot. The docs I had to
    do this blew up along with the rest of the data in a nice hdd crash.

    If anyone knows how to do this (I know there is a patch, but it's 2.2.9
    only) please let me know. And I'll put a web site up on how to do it :-)

    Please cc me in replies as I'm not a subscriber.

    Thanks,

    Chris
