Anyway my problem: How can I change kern.maxproc? When I try to raise that value I get result of ------------------ su-2.04# sysctl -w kern.maxproc=1000 sysctl: oid 'kern.maxproc' is read only ---------------- I think there are more values to tweak.And here they are (at least ones that I could able to find to have a better perfomance) kern.maxvnodes=10000 kern.maxfiles=2500 kern.maxproc=1000 kern.maxfilesperproc=2500 kern.maxprocperuid=1500 I have used arbitrary values for them.Do I have to make a balance among them? 2)There was a discussion in list about login.conf and getrlimit.I am using default login.conf for my system.That default login.conf states to use unlimited maxpoc size.But it is limited.At least I can see that some of those values in login.conf are limited with limits command.Does kernel changes those values?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
