Perhaps this (polled from my /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT) file? # Under some circumstances it is convenient to increase the defaults # for the maximum number of processes per user and the maximum number # of open files files per user. E.g., (1) in a large news server, user # `news' may need more than 100 concurrent processes. (2) a user may # need lots of windows under X. In both cases, it may be inconvenient # to start all the processes from a parent whose soft rlimit on the # number of processes is large enough. The following options work by # changing the soft rlimits for init. # options CHILD_MAX=128 options OPEN_MAX=128 Maybe increasing CHILD_MAX would do the trick? Oh well. That's my $0.02. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * FreeBSD: turning PCs into workstations * | Windows: turning workstations into typewriters | * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
