I think that these sorts of things tend to be set by the program when it starts up, and it does not interactively detect an increase. So, you'd need to stop and restart whatever program it is that needs the increased limits. This isn't a problem in my case, since I have repeatedly stopped and restarted the daemon in question. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
