Would the value have to be > changed and the kernel recompiled? I suspect the value in the file is used to communicate the kernel limits to the userland so changing it will not do you any good. On the other hand, changing the value in the kernel is not as easy as changing the value of a #define. IIRC one had to do some more surgery on certain kernel structures to get this to work, but you should be able to STFW for a patch. florin -- Don't question authority: they don't know either! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
