I have done some further testing by printing the values retrieved from getrlimit() to the terminal, it appears that rlim_cur is set to 256 while rlim_max is -1 by default, strange. The man pages state that only the superuser can change the max limits, so I manually changed the fd limit by using "ulimit -n 2048" to see what gives. Now it reports 2048 for currrent and max and guess what, ircd runs... How peculiar that you first have to raise the FD limit manually to fix the max limit, at least to me it seems. :) Thanks for your help all, Best regards, Tom _______________________________________________ Coder-com mailing list Coder-com@undernet.org http://undernet.sbg.org/mailman/listinfo/coder-com
