The limit on the number of contracts has been there as long as contracts have :) > I've seen the question of "is it possible to link projects > to SMF services" raised before, but I can't see this on > the radar through the SMF pages at: > www.opensolaris.org/os/community/smf Looks like Menno answered this one. > Even with that, I'd not be inclinued to change the way the > system ships but it would provide a proper path for someone > to set the system for the expected load/task. > > Comments? I don't see a reason why you couldn't raise the limit on the number of contracts inetd creates in the shipping product. The point of the control is to prevent users from denying service (contracts are cheap to create but have a fixed namespace), not to create an employment program for system tuners. The only thing I'd look out for is to make sure that if you put inetd in a new project, that the services it starts are correctly placed into their projects and aren't simply inheriting inetd's.
