Hi Warren! Hi Darryl! first, sorry Warren, for the bad diagnosis ...
the correct answer should have been: I did not check when, where and how, but the ulimit -u <#proc> option was changed between 2.4.21 and 22-pre in such way that ulimit -H -u <#procs> may not decrease the limit below the current soft limit ... so if, and this time I'm sure ;), you have a higher default ulimit (see ulimit -a), it will not be possible to set the hard limit to a lower value, unless you reduce the default (soft) limit too ... now for Darryls NFS issue ... I would suggest to do the mount from 172.30.0.100:/mnt/data/vservers on /mnt/nfs and add the folowing bind mounts mount --bind /mnt/nfs/conf /etc/vservers mount --bind /mnt/nfs/actual /vservers and the permission stuff chmod 000 /vservers/radius2/.. and of course, the ulimit will get you, if you change to 2.4.22-pre, which I would strongly advice, as many bugs where fixed. best, Herbert
