We went from 16 ttys to about 32 ttys.When we have "alot" of users on at once (like over 14) But we get error messages on console like "kernel name" proc table full. (this repeates about 100 gazillion times) then the system refuses any more logins :-( We looked in the sysconfig file in th etc dir and it says nothing about MAXUSERS or other things we read about in our Unix books. How can we alot more table space for MANY USERS LOGGED in at ONCE. ANy info for some newbies would be helpful. THANKS!! PS. is there a good web page ftp site I can get info like step by step kernel compiling ect. We have been using your FReeBSD for oour server for our school system. we have over 900 accounts and everyone is very happy!! Where ever you go..........There you are.
