You need to reconfig/rebuild your kernel to increase the size of the system's tables. I'm currently using maxusers 32 options CHILD_MAX=256 options OPEN_MAX=512 which seems to be adequate. Interestingly, when I upgraded from FreeBSD 2.x to CURRENT, I had to increase these settings. If you're using 2.x, you can probably get by with less than the above (I was using maxusers 20 and OPEN_MAX 256 before). I *promise* I'll get working on submitting a port Real Soon Now. :-) Hadn't seen that much interest in leafnode until recently. If you just can't wait, check the incoming dir on ftp.freebsd.org. There's an old port of leafnode 0.8 that never became official, but I found the patches there helpful as a guide when I was installing 1.0. -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads
