[TriLUG] howto determine max file handles

[Glen Ford]

Does anyone know the algorithm  used to determine the max open file
handles a system could support.
I believe I know where to set the value:

1. ulimit in /etc/profile
2.  /proc/sys/fs/file-max


I just need to know what the max should be based on things like (memory
.... etc?)

Thanks,
/glen
