3.0-curent, supped 9/2/97.

Under serious connection load (Using inetload), I'm getting various
failures that I'm sure are just tuning related.

I have maxusers set to 64 in the kernel.


I'm getting errors like:  "No Buffer space available", "File table full",
and others.


WHere do I start tweaking some of this stuff? I've modified rc.conf, and
bumped up limits all around.

I'm more concerned with the no buffers and file table stuff than things
like maxproc.
