apachectl tries to set soft limit for number of descriptors to the hard limit.
The output of ulimit -H -n with my AIX box yields English text "unlimited", which is a parameter that can be passed to ulimit -S -n. In a French locale, AIX translates "unlimited" on output to Illimite' # ulimit -H -n Illimite' but ulimit does not accept Illimite' as input. In other words, AIX /bin/sh ulimit can print output in French but will not accept French as input. If I had built Apache with a French locale I assume that the configure-time check would fail and apachectl would not try to play with ulimit. But in this case, Apache was built with an English locale and run with a French locale. Cool, huh? -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
