Default Changing CHILD_MAX system-wide config variable


I have a 4.3.3 system originally with a value of 40 set for CHILD_MAX in
/usr/include/sys/limits.h (maximum number of processes per uid).

This required upping in response to a specific error.

I changed it to

#define CHILD_MAX 60

and the server has been re-booted.

However getconf reports the value still at 40.

Have I missed a step somewhere, or edited the wrong file?

Any thoughts anyone?

Fine answer Nicolas.

It works fine.

I'd unfortunately got the idea of editing /usr/include/sys/limits.h
from a site;

http://www.sdrc.com/ideas/hardware/r...re_7-ibm.shtml

which was probably not the best route to take.
