Just wondering if the settings used (128 for both) are the default, or did I actually bump them up by adding these options? And is increasing CHILD_MAX really necessary? I'm inclined to think I really only need to increase OPEN_MAX, but I did both, just to be sure. -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads
