Short answer: No. Policyd pre-allocates all required memory and it does not increase. Long answer: Yes, you can modify the amount of policy threads that will be accepted by modifying policyd.h .... /* Miscellaneous constants */ #define LISTENQ 1023 /* 2nd argument to listen() */ #define MAXLINE 1023 /* max text line length */ #define BUFFSIZE 8191 /* buffer size for reads and writes */ #define BUFSIZE 4095 #ifndef MAXFDS #define MAXFDS 1023 /* max file descriptors */ #endif .... Change at your own peril, if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. ;) Cami ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
