Re: Setting OPENLDAP_FD_SETSIZE on an existing directory

[George Siddiqui <george@blue-bolt.com>]

Thanks Dieter,

To change number of open files permanently on Centos you can edit the
nofile (number of files setting) setting in /etc/security/limits.conf

* -  nofile 8192

for example this sets the number of open files to 8192 for all
(domains), enforced for both hard and soft limits.

for more info:

man limits.conf

I logged out and back in to make the setting take on my machine.

Cheers,
George
