In fact, I made a slight change after 3 people forgot to update their config and wound up with a maxusers of 8. So, in fact, you do not have to recompile the world or config for this change to be effective, you need only recompile the kernel. Recompiling the world (or just config) will get rid of a harmless config-generated warning, however. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
