Hi Nathan, there is or was certainly a reason for this limit, a hard limit is either more than or equal to a soft limit, as you said the soft limit can be changed through sysctl command,
this value wasn't always defined as 2500, for instance, NPROC is using MAXUSERS, macosx is "by default" compiled with a "Medium scale" limit you can change it at compile time to setup a "larger scale" limit anyway these specifications are available in the UNIX03 process structure part
1) Where can I download the kernel so I can look through some of the source myself? It's not on the list at macosforge.org. 2) More description of NPROC, MAXUSERS, and "scales", and UNIX03 would be helpful. I'd be happy to read up on them if someone could point me in the right direction. Where should I look? The source code? 3) Does anyone know what buttons I could push at Apple to get (at least) the server kernel compiled with "larger scale" or something like that? I'd like this fix to be available to the larger community, which really means getting it into an official OS update. ~ Nathan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
