One of our OS X servers (kernel version 6.6) is running a set of
applications that, together, eat up a lot of sockets. The default of
512 is simply too low of a ceiling for the kind of load we'd like to
throw at the machine. I have tried increasing it by running 'sysctl -w
kern.ipc.maxsockets=xxx', however this is a read-only value in a
running kernel.
I am wondering if there is a way to increase it at boot time a la
FreeBSD's method of editing /boot/loader.conf with the appropriate
value. I'd prefer to not have to recompile a kernel just to get more
sockets available for the system.
Thanks!
