Dear List, I have finally worked out the problem.
The version of ssh supplied with woody sets the per default the limit for max user procs to 256. If I log in via telnet, rsh, or run ulimit -a via cron or via console I see the correct limit, and not 256. (and no, there is nothing in /etc/security/limits.conf This problem is fixed in Sarge! Yipee! I hope it wont be too long now till sarge goes stable.... Thanks for all your help, Regards Andrew On Tuesday 18 May 2004 01:06, Andrew Miehs wrote: > Dear list, > > I am confused...
