Because the kernel needs to keep this info. At the time of conception, 16 shorts (16*4=64) per login and maxusers of 10, is only 640 bytes kernel memory. When working with 32MB physical memory per machine those 640 bytes sound a lot more invasive. The variable is defined in sys/sys/syslimits.h, in case you need to tune your kernel. In any case, work is being done to make this a sysctl runtime tuneable: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2009-February/027738.html -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
