Greetings,

I have a FreeBSD 3.2 system which panics with out of MBUFS, 
the messages says increase maxusers or NMBCLUSTERS.

In my kernel file I have :

maxusers     128
options         NBUF=512
options         NMBCLUSTERS=4096

I have checked the handbook and the complete FreeBSD book but there is no 
information pertaining to handling a panic or understanding what needs to be
fixed.


The panic occurs when I run nessus ( 1.0.7 ) and when the attack reaches the
IIS Malformed Extension Data.

I have 64Megs of Ram 
and 256Megs of SWAP

Please advise

Vikash
