I use SunOS-2.5.1.

% uname -a
SunOS kohada 5.5.1 Generic_103640-08 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10

% limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        2097148 kbytes
stacksize       8192 kbytes
coredumpsize    0 kbytes
vmemoryuse      unlimited
descriptors     4096

How do I increase my kernel's file table size?
