[asterisk-users] Linux limits

[Benjamin Jacob]

safe_asetrisk bundled with the package, does increase the file limits in 
quite a neat way, with some other good setups.
Edit MAXFILES or SYSMAXFILES as required.
Also, I've read posts online, advising not to use safe_asterisk. Any 
experiences on this one, anyone?

cheers
- Ben.
