Use `files = 40 + 32 * maxusers', you'll need maxusers at 62 to allow 2000 open files. I think this sets the absolute system maximum limit: login.conf can be used to control it for different classes if needed. sysctl can also reduce limits, but I'm pretty sure it can't take them above the limit determined from the maxusers setting. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
