I reconfigured the kernel to allow 512 concurrently open files per user and portmap failed. It worked O.K. with a kernel configured for 256 concurrently open files per user. Why would it fail with 512? The log file entry says: Jan 29 13:26:33 www portmap[99]: run_svc returned unexpectedly 2. A small error exists in the portmap code in BSDI and FreeBSD. The error message states that run_svc quit early. It should say "svc_run returned unexpectedly". Dean
