I don't know if this is the right place to suggest this, but since you've
been talking about Linux as a server machine to be used by ISPs and such,
don't you think this might be a good time to allow more descriptors per
process? The 256 hard limit is pretty low compared to other unices or
even NT.
A dynamic table a la HP/UX would be really cool :) but even something
like IRIX has which is a tunable static table is nice.
Sorry to have bothered if this isn't the right place to make this kind of
suggestions
