Can anyone tell me exactly how to do this under Solaris 2.5.1? Is
there some Solaris header file I need to tweak? Do I need to rebuild
the kernel, netatalk, or both? I've rebuilt many SunOS4 and Linux
kernels and have done quite a bit of UNIX hacking over the years, but
only started using Solaris2 last week.
BTW, in addition to "too many open files" error messages, I have also
seen error messages such as:
SimpleText cannot open this document. It may be in use by someone else.
when I try to open a file while 5 other files are already open in
SimpleText. I can consistently reproduce the error with no other
applications open on my Mac and only a single non-NFS Sun directory
containing around 20 files mounted on my Mac. I am running netatalk
1.4b2 on a Sparcation20 with Solaris 2.5.1. My Mac is a PowerPC 7100
running MacOS 7.5.1. Here's my /usr/kernel/drv/ddp.conf file:
#
# Netatalk driver's configuration file
#
name="ddp" parent="pseudo" instance=0 ndevs=100 nlocalrts=256;
Any clues or suggestions for things to try will be greatly
appreciated. Please "CC: silvat@bose.com" on your response since I am
not yet on the netatalk-admins mailing list.
TIA,
