Best FreeBSD doc, Thanks for the fine documentation and many good manual pages. While searching for the default number of 'open files' the 8.1-R kernel can handle, I started reading: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-kernel-limits.html This mentions the dynamic setting of maxusers which in turn will proportionally define maxfiles. But it also states that the kern.maxfiles is read-only in regard to sysctl changes, which doesn't seem to be the case. I could increase this value using sysctl but it this supported? Regards, Leroy van Logchem
