Already done that. Some of my users are just starting out on linux and they easily get confused over words like "interface" or "gateway" :)

[#] netstat -m
309/1232/6144 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        194 mbufs allocated to data
        115 mbufs allocated to packet headers
170/352/1536 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
1012 Kbytes allocated to network (21% of mb_map in use)
...

what would be an appropriate value? I'm running FreeBSD 4.3 on this box and I have about 400 workstations on my "neck".

Thanks in advance,
