I would love to use a couple of FWTK proxies on a small FreeBSD system loaded from a floppy or two. The problem is I can't make it out what is the right way of telling FreeBSD there is _no_ swap space available. Or is swapping an absolute must for *BSD ? Since proxies fork a child for each serviced request what will happen when there is no more free memory _and no_ swap ? Will the kernel panic or will just fork fail ? Thanks.
