Thanks, i read it. I also found this: # The `maxusers' parameter controls the static sizing of a number of # internal system tables by a formula defined in subr_param.c. # Omitting this parameter or setting it to 0 will cause the system to # auto-size based on physical memory. And looking at some source files: maxusers = physpages / (2 * 1024 * 1024 / PAGE_SIZE) PAGE_SIZE is the amount of swap as reported in pfstat -s? I wasnt able to find out what physpages are only this: void init_param2(long physpages); But that still didnt give me a clue what it shoud represent, any hints here? maxproc = physpages / 12; maxprocperuid = (maxproc * 9) / 10; Would physpages be the amount of available RAM? In my case with 512 MB of RAM I'll get kern.maxproc: 4036 So in my case physpages is 49032? Bye, Mipam. On Tue, 23 Mar 2004, Kevin D.
