Does anyone know what could be causing these error messages: May 5 05:31:09 tatooine innd: ME cant spawn /news/bin/control/newgroup for control/newgroup/17509 Resource temporarily unavailable May 5 05:31:09 tatooine innd: ME cant fork /news/bin/control/newgroup Resource temporarily unavailable May 5 05:31:09 tatooine innd: ME cant spawn /news/bin/control/newgroup for control/newgroup/17510 Resource temporarily unavailable May 5 05:31:09 tatooine innd: ME cant fork /news/bin/control/newgroup Resource temporarily unavailable I'm running FreeBSD-2.1 STABLE with MAXUSERS (in the kernel) set to 64. I have tried setting it other values all to no avail. Is there any way of increasing the number of processes? I use my machine to run X, inn, named, nfs (client & server), apache, samba and sendmail (from inetd) so the number of processes can get quite large (about 70), but when the above occurred I wasn't even running X. Any advice would be appreciated. I've had a look as some man pages (sysctl) and the FAQ and Handbook but it hasn't helped. The Handbook states that the number of processes is equal to 20 + (16 * MAXUSERS) or in my case 1044 which should be more than enough. Spec: P100 48 Mb RAM Adaptec 2940 PCI 64 Mb Swap (32 Mb partition & 32 Mb file) Cheers, Chris -- Chris Dabrowski chris@vader.org
