Package: nginx
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
We're running into open files limits with our nginx installation. It's a server
with a lot of users. It seems there's no default way to set this, since the
/etc/security/limits.conf is not used by start-stop-daemon. We've resorted to
changing the initscript, but as you can imagine, this is not very robust with
regards to upgrades. So I thought I might have a try at trying to get our
little patch incorporated into the package. Would you consider this, please?
