Subject: Upping the default # of processes in 2.2?
Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org

The login classes will allow me to do it in 3.0-current, but I need it
in 2.2.

I thought that adding the following lines of code to /etc/rc.local would
work, but it doesn't.

/usr/sbin/sysctl -w kern.maxproc=300
/usr/sbin/sysctl -w kern.maxprocperuid=299

I still run out of processes on my 'workstation', since it uses the
default process limit of 40.  Is there a sysctl I can change to modify
this behavior?  Should there be?

Thanks!

Nate
