Redhat 6.0 and Large File descriptors

Anyone had any luck with patching RH 6.0 to get the 3000 file descriptors. Just downloaded all rpms from redhat as specified in informix release docs, but they are all 5.2 specific and the kernel stuff is a little behind. Also, is there a linux/informix newsgroup I can peg to? Trying to get it running on a 100mhz with 40mb ram - just for fun/experimentation. Engine starts up and can access on local box, but no remote clients. Thanks.... James

Red Hat folded a lot of kernel patches into the 6.0 base release, including everything you need for IDS 7.30. 6.0 will run IDS fine in the default configuration. -- Alan Denney yosemite at accesscom.com "I am so full of anticipation, my genitals have been sucked up into my body cavity." -- Dieter, "Sprockets" (SNL)

Well, the database does startup fine, but when it starts I get the following messages to stdout and kernellog: Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 32767, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 16383, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 8191, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 4095, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2047, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2046, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2045, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2044, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2043, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2042, max 1024 Aug 21 09:35:55 sav01 kernel: dupfd: fd 2041, max 1024 and this continues down to ...

Also cannot connect from PC using setnet. I get users password not correct (952) 09:48:29 Event alarms enabled.

What I found strange about this is that the users name is not populated - on our HP and Sun versions, it usually displays the users name that had the incorrect password. I think this could be from some confusion related to the 2 nic cards in the machine I am running this on??? but any thoughts would be appreciated. It does recognize when the engine is in quiesent mode, so there is some communication going on, but somethings up. James jsaville-nospam@bellsouth.net Remove -nospam to send e-mail.
