Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I have recently implemented a box that I had to increase the maxusers in the kernel. I read on I think a handbook page that there was a sugested upper range of 128 for this value. I Question: Is 128 the max or can it go beyond this? Question: Is there a scenario that the "max" would not be enough? (I am thinking in terms of running something like Samba doing domain logons and say running heavy file open ,from the server, applications) Thoughts Welcome!!
