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.
