Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 12:00:34 LOCAL Organization: IDS World Network Internet Access Service (ids.net) Lines: 25 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <bobfe.165.0DEA9EC0@ids.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ntserv.ids.net X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:7139 news.software.nntp:16439 I keep getting this error message from time to time: paperboy innd: ME cant fork /usr/local/etc/in.nnrpd Resource temporarily unavailable Can anyone tell me what this means? Am I running too many processes? I have 128megs of memory, and TOP usually shows anywhere from 60-90 megs in use. I set my syslogs to all debug level, and I'm not getting any more information than that error message. Which resource is unavailable? Can I recompile my kernel to allow for more processes?
