Yes and Yes, the setting is assigned at boot time and depends on an algorithm which you can read about in tuning(7) IIRC. I would say give it a go and see how it fairs. Check out sysctl -a for your current settings and see how it changes when you set MAXUSERS to 0. Also check out fstat(1) to see what open files you currently have and what is consuming your file descriptors - perhaps you can cut down the number of open files. -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/
