Hello all,
Do I really have to patch source and recompile a 2.4 kernel to modify the
maximum number of open files?
Why is there such a hardcoded limit anyway?
Regards,
Stephan

No need to patch. Check out the entry in /proc/sys/fs/file-max
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
To change the value:
echo XXXXX > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
