A solution for Mac OS X process limits

> OS X 10.3 now supports the standard /etc/sysctl.conf

this file doesn't exist on my 10.3.1 rig. should one just create this file? if so, with what permissions? where is it documented that panther now supports sysctl.conf? or do i have an errant installation?

You have to create it, it doesn't exist by default. I'm not
sure where it is documented. To see the types of values
that can go in the file though you can run sysctl -a

Here is mine:

14:48 EST | serrano:~>cat /etc/sysctl.conf
# Turn up maxproc
kern.maxproc=2048

# Turn up the maxproc per user
kern.maxprocperuid=512
