Running ircu2.10.11 on Solaris

Running ircu2.10.11 on Solaris

When running on Solaris, ircu can make use of the /dev/poll event engine, which results in much improved performance over the old poll-based method. Solaris versions 8 and 9 include /dev/poll out of the box, for Solaris 7 you will have to grab and install Patch-ID 106541-21.

In order to increase the number of clients ircu can handle, add lines such as the following to /etc/system:

set rlim_fd_max = 16384 set rlim_fd_cur = 8192
 * set hard limit on file descriptors
 * set soft limit on file descriptors
