I don't know how much increasing MAXUSERS slows the system down, but anyway... Look in /sys/conf/param.c, I think: #define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS) #define MAXFILES (NPROC*2) (where MAXUSERS is taken from your kernel config.) I can't see anything stopping you from hardcoding those, eg #define NPROC 100 #define MAXFILES 5000 or whatever you may want. Whether that's a good idea or not, someone else who knows more about FreeBSD than I do can comment if they wish. Whether it will even work I don't know ... :-) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
