openSUSE Recommended Update: dbus-1: Increase the file limit to allow more sessions ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2012:0911-1 Rating: low References: #739743 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: dbus-1 had a low global session limit making larger deployments less usable. This update does: - add patch: dbus-1.2.10-fd-limit-backport.patch - Raise file descriptor limit to match configuration. The default configuration has hardcoded 2048 complete connections, and 64 incomplete. We need at least that number of file descriptors, plus some for internal use. In the bus, attempt to call setrlimit() before we drop privileges. Practically speaking for this means the system bus gets it, the session bus doesn't.
