Hi,

I'm wondering where the ulimit defaults are being set in Slack 10.

I have to set the max open filedes limit for all users (not just root)
to something higher than 1024.

Where would I be able to do this?

kind regards Philip

look in /etc/rc.d/rc.S, there is a function that tests for presence
of /etc/sysctl.conf, and if it exists, it uses sysctl to set the desired
values. My guess is that you can use /etc/sysctl.conf to set those values.

I don't think any are being set, their just what /sbin/init defaults to.

/etc/passwd
/etc/login.defs
/etc/limits
/etc/initscript < a script is provided as: /sbin/initscript.sample

man login
man login.defs
man limits
man init
man initscript

"man proc<return>/file-max<return>" provides some more info on that.

Yes, this is what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot.
