No, you don't need to. However, various system table sizes are tuned for a smaller number of users than that, so you're liable to find yourself running out of things. You would do well to create a custom config and set maxusers to a larger number, so those tables will be bigger. At that time, going through your dmesg output and taking out all the unneeded devices will make the kernel footprint smaller, which will compensate for the tables being larger. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
