>Description:
The loader(8) man page is missing the kern.maxusers tunable
information.  The topic was originally raised when rwatson 
was making corrections to the tuning(7) man page.

I am attaching a patch, which will add this tunable information
to the loader(8) man page, which will make it clear for people
that kern.maxusers can be set at boot time.
>How-To-Repeat:
Visit the loader(8) man page, and you will notice kern.maxusers is
missing. :-)
>Fix:
*** loader.8.old        Fri Dec  7 09:04:51 2001
--- loader.8    Fri Dec  7 09:04:59 2001

  Other variables are used to override kernel tunable
parameters.
  The following tunables are available:
  .Bl -tag -width Va
+ .It Va kern.maxusers
+ Sets the static sizing number of the internal
+ systems table. The tunable defaults to a very
+ low value. We recommend modifying the value
+ for this tunable to (default: 32) 64, 128 or
+ 256.  Please do not assign a value higher
+ than 256 unless you need a huge amount of file
+ descriptors. Modifies kernel config(8)
+ .Va maxusers .
  .It Va kern.ipc.nmbclusters
  Set the number of mbuf clusters to be allocated.
  The value cannot be set below the default
