Hello,
I'm looking to increase the file descriptor limits and process/thread =
limits.  I've made the changes to limits.h, posix_types.h, types.h, =
limits.conf and login files....and I know I have to recompile the kernel =
for this to take affect, but do I really have to recompile glibc as =
well? =20

Background:  I'm running an informix instance that holds two production =
databases.  I have 4 java brokers connecting to this machine from =
another server that brings in requests from users on the web.  Whenever =
we do load testing or get an excessive amount of traffic, the instance =
freezes and doesn't allow any more connections.  This forces us to =
bounce the instance causing an outage.  I've increased the file-max and =
inode-max which seemed to help for a while.=20

If anyone has run into a similar situation or has any information on =
these limits, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
Scott Hamilton
