Hi guys,
I have a program which tells me it needs more open files than the system can handle.
When I do nlimit -n, it tells me I have 1024 files max. How do you increase this number, permanently? I found some stuff about changing /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/gdm and some others, but that doesn't really work. It's probably some simple trick and I remember something alike before, but I cannot remember how it was done.
I use FC2 with KDE.
/etc/security/limits.conf is the right place: [root@asp5 root]# cat /etc/security/limits.conf |grep nofile # - nofile - max number of open files notes soft nofile 90000 notes hard nofile 90000 [root@asp5 root]# su - notes [notes@asp5 notes]$ ulimit -a|grep files open files (-n) 90000
