Howdy!

	I came across http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html#limits.filehandles 
while researching how to increase the number of network sockets available.

	It claims that kern.maxfiles must be set in /boot/loader.conf because
of the need to allocate this early in the boot process.

	Is this correct, or is it Ok to just use /etc/sysctl.conf and
set it after boot?

	thanx - steve
