What's the best thing to do to try and alleviate this? I have maxusers set at 256, I've seen mention of a new kernel with a couple of extra options, would this be the way to go? - Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
