I keep getting the cannot fork message when in X on my 3.0-current machine. I've got the options options "CHILD_MAX=256" options "OPEN_MAX=256" in my kernel, but I believe that this is now obsolete. Unfortunately the LINT kernel doesn't say what you do instead of that, and the mailing lists don't have anything from 1997 in them. Hmm :-0 Any help appreciated. --- Khetan Gajjar [ http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan] I'm a FreeBSD User!
