TUNABLE SECURITY PARAMETERS

[toni osta]

Hi ,

How can we check the value of these parameters
raorv soft nproc
raorv hard nproc
raorv soft nofile
raorv hard nofile

and how we can change them (on HPUX v2)

thank you

Hello,

There is no soft and hard limits in HP-UX.
There are simply kernel tunable parameters.

a) To check nproc:

# kctune -v nproc

b) To check nfile:

# kctune -v nfile

Note the spelling: "nfile" not "nofile" as
you wrote, possibly by mistake.

However, there is a ulimit value called
"nofiles" (number of file descriptors):

# ulimit -a | grep nofiles

or, simpler:

# ulimit -n

To set them, as a simple exercise to learn,
please refer to manuals on commands
kctune(1m) and Ksh ulimit.

Cheers,
