Hi, we are running freeBSD 2.2.5. (and very good it is too: fast and stable) We are about to connect apache to a mysql database. This will require 2 file descriptors (for the mysql process) per apache child. Reading the apache documentation suggests there may be a problem which limits the number of file descriptors per process to 256 regardless of the current settings of limit: > > (from apache documentation concerning FreeBSD) > If you are using a version of 2.1-stable from after 1997/03/10 or 2.2 or 3.0-current from before 1997/06/28, there is a limit in the resolver library that prevents it from using more file descriptors than what FD_SETSIZE is set to when libc is compiled. To increase this, you have to recompile libc with a higher FD_SETSIZE. Does this apply to freeBSD 2.2.5? And if so, how do I recompile libc safely?
