Things were just sort of dying without much of a clue. I finally noticed that dmesg was reporting file: table is full errors but oddly they were not being displayed in the main xconsole window (which was correctly displaying other console messages). Anyway, I bumped up kern.maxfiles and kern.maxfilesperproc and things seem fine now. (I also bumped maxusers in my kernel config file from 10 to 32 for future kernel builds.) Perhaps the current dying daemons problem is simply that the kernel is running out of file descriptors? Perhaps the default calculations for these changed recently? -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
