Can someone please point me to documentation on the proper way to increase
the number of file descriptors under slackware. All the information I've
been able to come up with refers to changing the limits.conf file, but
there is no such file in slackware. Some sources are saying you have to do
some pretty involved kernel hacking to get an increase, others say no,
that after the 2.4 series you just need to change configuration files.

I'm using Slack 10, kernel 2.6.6

- TIA
