We upgrade one of our production http server, runing apache 1.3.29, to
kernel 2.6. some time the main process of apache exit and here is the
error log:
[Sat Jan 10 08:48:44 2004] [alert] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: setuid: unable to change to uid: 65534

[Sat Jan 10 08:48:44 2004] [alert] (11)Resource temporarily unavailable: setuid: unable to change to uid: 65534
how can i tuning the kernel and remove the system resource limit?

Well the question is: why did behaviour change relative to 2.4? The kernel
is saying that uid 65534 has exceeded its RLIMIT_NPROC threshold.
How may processes is user 65534 actually running, and how much memory does
the machine have?

we compiled the apache from source instead of using binary package from
debian. the apache process was runned as nobody user.

we also find a report in the apache user list for the same problem:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=107330742328001&w=2
now we downgrade the kernel to 2.4.22 with security patch, all works
fine now.
