This time, I was attempting to 'make world' (2.2-STABLE) Actually, come to think of it, that's what happened last time, too. This never happened before the implementation of 'login.conf' as far as I can remember. I've got max users (MAXUSERS) set at 50. Should it be higher for a one user machine? (I've got 13 ttyv's and an ISDN net connection and one 33.6 modem) And, then when it didn't, Procmail started bouncing e-mail (couldn't fork). Any ideas, anyone?
