Is it "options MAXUPRC" in the kernel configuration file? My news server machine is occasionally giving "can't fork - Resource temporarily unavailable" errors, probably at times when the entire Computer Concepts classes are all connecting at once with their newsreaders. I suspect the user "news" is hitting the max procs limit... Guy Helmer, Dakota State University Computing Services - ghelmer@alpha.dsu.edu
