I'm new in the FreeBSD world, so I don't really know if sending a mail about an issue in installing-using a port is the right thing to do. Pliz let me know if this is a mistake. > > Anyway, to make a long story short : I've kicked Windows out of my box, installed a minimal FreeBSD 4.4, updated the port tree, installed (in this order) XFree86-4.1.0_10, enlightenment-0.16.5_5 and the x11/gnome-1.4.1b2_1 "meta-port". For the most of it, I don't complain : everything's fine. The only annoying thing is that nautilus never started.

I can't remember if that variable was always read-write. It is in a recent -stable. kern.maxfiles is actually dependent on your maxusers setting in the kernel, though. You have maxusers set too low in your kernel conf. If this is 4.4-RELEASE, edit your kernel config, and change maxusers to 64, then recompile. If this is a very recent version of 4.4-stable or 4.5-PRERELEASE, set maxusers to 0, then recompile.

So do you have any idea about what I could do? Do I need to send you more infos? As I told you, I'm pretty new in this wonderful Unix world, and I'm not really sure that the next command line I'll type won't crash my system. But if I can do anything to help, I'm here. Oh, and on the other hand, if I'm THAT dumb that I made a huge and obvious config error or that I made something wrong fell free to yell at me too. :) > > I just hope, I didn't bother you too much with my mail.
