The SLACK_LINE stuff was about preserving low-numbered fds for use by stdio because of the Solaris 8-bit fd limit with stdio. It's not in 2.x because 2.x doesn't use stdio for logging. If you're hitting fd limits in 2.2 it is only because of kernel fd limits which need fixing with limit/ulimit/etc (unless you suspect fd leaks somewhere; truss will tell you). joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
