I would like to have lots of windows in KDE but I hit the 64-process limit. I have tried to reconfigure the kernel after increasing the "maxusers" parameter and the "CHILD_MAX" option. Then I have edited "/etc/login.conf" (and then "cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf"). The net result was a completely **broken** machine (well .. almost ;-) ) and I could only have a maximum of 16 X-Windows clients before Xlib complained. I have looked at what "the complete FreeBSD" says and I have looked in the archives and I haven't found a clue. I've now reinstalled a clean FreeBSD. What sould I do to have more than 64 processes.
