Re: IDS on UnixWare 2.0: kernel problem

I don't know about UnixWare 2 but in UnixWare 7 they have a kernel prameter called SFNOLIM that specifies the maximum number of open files a process can have. Try setting it. May be it will help. Hope this helps, Octav On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 03:57:38AM +0000, jlumbley wrote: > I know, it's an old system, and I'm replacing it in a month, but I'm in > a ditch with this problem.
