Check the situation with "netstat -m", and if you need to increase them, put "options NMBCLUSTERS=nnn" in your kernel configuration file, then rebuild the kernel. A good large value could be 4096: "options NMBCLUSTERS=4096". Hope this helps. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
