Under 2.4 they are renamed... /proc/sys/fs/file-max and inode-max.  Note 
that under RedHat and probably some other distros, these are already 
increased from their "default" values.

For lots of good information on /proc entries see the kernel source 
documentation: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
