Maximum Number of Processes



I would like to increase the number of processes on a system from the
1024 default and
also to increase the number of processes runnable by a user from it's
current default.
For example, on a KDE system, there are somewhere between 100-130
available processes.
(I am forking off many child "clients" to bombard a server which I have
developed.I cannot
seem to create more than about 115 of them at a time. I need to get to
several hundred.)

How do you do this? (There is a constant, CHILD_MAX in a few places
which defaults to 999.
Is changing that necessary, sufficient? Is a kernel rebuild needed?
