This is an interesting question; a while back I posted something similar
and everyone agreed "maxusers" set to a high value would take care of max
processes and max open files...  However, in setting up a medium duty
(2G/Day) dedicated webserver, I was running out of processes with maxusers
at 200.  When I re-compiled the kernel with params like those below, all
was well.  Could someone clarify?  I'll be building another big machine
(news) soon, and I will be dealing with the same issue.

Thanks,

Charles
