hi...
i think that would be great....
as i have also noticed.. that some of the tunables
are there without an explanation, such as
kern.maxusers

i mean... the option does not say about the rule
used (kern.maxuser x XX x XX).... but i am looking
for stuff like that and gonna fixup soon....

thats my target for now-days.. :-)
