Hi out there,
 
I have a few questions......
 
1. I have SuSe Linux 6.0 running a custom application. I have to increase the amount of open files that the program uses but when i     use the ulimit -n command it returns an error saying operation not permitted. is there any other way without rebuilding or            
    upgrading the kernel that i can increase this value?.
 
2. If i have to rebuild the kernel to support this new value what source files do i have to modify?
 
3. if i have to upgrade the kernel what exactly do i need to do it on SuSe 6.0? I have downloaded 2.4.12 and all the updates for SuSe 6.0
 
4. Would it be easier to upgrade to a later version and does the later version allow me to increase the amount of open files?
 
 
Any help regarding these questions would be grately appreiciated.
 
 
Regards
