[JDEV] Re: Need to use Linux 2.4-x kernel, to get more than 1000 users connected?

[Kimmo P Hamalainen]

Greetings

I think the 1000 user limit could be because of kernel's limit
for open files (sockets are kind of files too). You can change the
limit with the /sbin/sysctl program. (Maybe it works in 2.4 if it has
bigger limit by default.)

"man sysctl" tells more..

Example (you need superuser rights):
/sbin/sysctl -w fs.file-max=4096

I didn't try if that works though, because I don't have Jabber installed.
