I am sure it has nothing to do with DNS. The other time I has a similar message I was advised to increase maxusers in the kernel file and I think it did the trick. You could try that and recompile the kernel. you could also try, as root, sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=N (where N is a number twice what it is now) and you find that out by sysctl kern.maxprocperuid There may be other views though... => =>I have a problem with my machine. It is running FreeBSD 4.0 and is basically =>running two major services - SMTP and POP3. It runs Sendmail and =>Qpopper3.0.2. It's bringing me a table full error and everything is going =>crazy when it does that. How can I increase the size of this proc table? => =>And also, when the machine gets this table full error, all the other =>machines on the network go crazy as well.

My DNS runs on Win NT =>(MS DNS Server) and has 160MB RAM. I am suspecting either the DNS or =>Sendmail to be causing my problem, and I would like to know where to start =>to look.
