You need something like this: options SHMMAXPGS=4096 # Gobs of SHM for Sybase in your kernel config. It has also been discovered that setting maxusers to 32 works. With 64, the dataserver falls flat with segfaults. So, set maxusers to 32 initially and try adjusting it from there if you get things working. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
