The hard limits are (unfortunately) enforced by the kernel, even for root. Compile your kernel with sufficiently high limits. The soft limits could be adjusted with limits (csh) or ulimit (sh & Co.) Starting with these days FreeBSD-3.0-current, support for login classes also went in, courtesy David Nugent. This provides for a much more flexible way to adjust those limits. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
