I tried changing the max limit on the number of open files but get an error: ssh root@eu033 [root@eu033 ~]# ulimit -n unlimited -bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted I verified that /etc/security/limits.conf has these two lines: * hard nofile unlimited * soft nofile unlimited The default kernel limits seem high enough: [root@eu033 ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 1585781 [root@eu033 ~]# sysctl -a|grep fs.file-max fs.file-max = 1585781 So why is my change via ulimit being rejected? What else could be setting the limit at 1024. Any ideas how else I can get the file-limit to be set to unlimited? Actually, I am not even sure limits.conf is being used since I have the following lines in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config UsePAM no UsePrivilegeSeparation no -- Rahul -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
