Is there a good reason _not_ to do it? rpc.statd has always mapped 256M, for as long as FreeBSD exists (maybe longer). I've never had a proble with that. Obviously it does that because it makes managing the state data easier. That's enough of a good reason, I think. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
