A default FreeBSD system has something like a max of 360 entries in this table, IIRC. My large news servers have over 8000 :-) This is indirectly calculated from the "MAXUSERS" setting in your config file... the default FreeBSD GENERIC kernel has MAXUSERS set to 10. See /sys/conf/param.c: #define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS) int maxproc = NPROC; /* maximum # of processes */ int maxprocperuid = NPROC-1; /* maximum # of processes per user */ int maxfiles = NPROC*2; /* system wide open files limit */ int maxfilesperproc = NPROC*2; /* per-process open files limit */ Trivia: there is a similar file provided under SunOS so that you may set these values (even though SunOS comes with its kernel 99% precompiled). ...
