Go figure :) I'm running an IRC server, and have already increased the limit from the default 256 to 1024.. in the near future, I'm upgrading the hardware tho and would like to accomodate more clients. I hear in Linux that 1024 is the limit unless you want to do some MAJOR jerry-rigging in the kernel.. Does FreeBSD have a similar limit? Also, does anyone know of any www references to performing this proceedure?
