Alternatively, if you can set "ulimit -n 32768" in your RPM build environment (this needs to be set as a login requirement), you can sidestep the need for configure to run as root. The only reason it needs root is to expand the file descriptor limit so it can test using a file descriptor beyond 1023 (the usual limit). -- Tilghman -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
