The real limit isn't going to be 4 billion processes. That just means that it won't be the ulimit stopping you. As you've apparently noticed the limits are set by login programs. This should only be a problem if you ssh into a machine to start a daemon, daemons started by init should not have any such limits. -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
