I am trying to port software currently running on hp-ux to freeBSD 4.9. The application I have will normally run for large numbers of users accessing database applications. On hp-ux to enable reasonable user numbers with large numbers of files open I would normally tune MAXFILES No files per process MAXFILES_LIM System level max files per process MAXUPRC Max no user processes MAXUSERS Used by kernel generation to calc tables sizes NFILE Max no files open NFLOCKS Max no file locks NINODE Max no inodes open NPTY Max no of virtual telnet devices Where do these exist in FreeBSD or do I not worry about these type of things. I would normally experience 'unable to fork process' or issues with performance as unix files are opened and accessed dynamically on a 'least recently used' basis based on the size of some of these tables. Thanks for your help. Regards Richard
