I think it somewhat impolite to shout : "this is NOT the parameter" !

I can see where Jordan was : coming from with is "I'm outta here" post a while ago. : What exactly is your problem with the maxusers line ? I beg your pardon, but I am NOT shouting out and there is NO implication of impoliteness or non-appreciation from my part. Anyway, I don't have any problem with the MAXUSERS line which I have already been tuning for many versions of FreeBSD, but I remembered a discussion about a "special" tunning of the kernel stuff for a super-duper configuration. In fact I was on so many FreeBSD mailing lists before until my account got restricted in quota that I have to unsubscribe from all, that I may be even indicating hackers list as the wrong source of the discussion and I think it is far more appropriate to post it to this only group apart from announce. If I am even sure about the source is from hackers itself, I would have been able to locate it in the list archive easily. : -- : Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> : Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
