max number of processes

["Stephen Adler" <adler ssadler phy bnl gov>]

Does anyone know how to change the max number a processes allowed
in linux? I would assume this is a paramter burried somewhere in
the linux kernel which I could change by editing and rebuilding the
kernel.

If you do have an answer, could you please cc: it to adler bnl gov
since I don't recieve mail from redhat-list redhat com Thank.s

Steve.
