I am getting resource unavailable errors every direction I turn these dyas.
I can't use man, Open a new xterm, rsh, etc. I keep getting Cant fork 
exit 512, and resource is temporarily unavailable errors. I am going to
edit /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h, up CHILD_MAX from 40 to 100 processes, 
and build a new kernel. Is there anything else I need to change or am I 
changing the wrong thing all together?

Thank You,
       Michael Olson

"Why Not" is a perfectly good reason.
