Before I do this I'd like to know what it does exactly? Can you >please explain? It increases the maximum listen queue depth. This will only be useful if the application that is doing the listen() specifies a large maximum queue depth (backlog), however. If the application specifies a small backlog paramter to listen, then changing the kernel maximum will have no effect on the problem and it will need to be changed in the application. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
