We should have, > for example, 8 x tasks, which is where 8192 came from. That is a per-process limit, not per-user. Also, if something is leaking up to 1024, and you raise the limit, who's to say it won't leak right up to 8192 next? For the vast majority of programs, 1024 is way more than they'd ever need (or be able to manage properly). The few that can really use more typically daemons that are started by root and know how to raise the limit themselves. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
