The comment in sys/conf/NOTES is a reasonable thumbnail: # Certain applications can grow to be larger than the 512M limit # that FreeBSD initially imposes. Below are some options to # allow that limit to grow to 1GB, and can be increased further # with changing the parameters. MAXDSIZ is the maximum that the # limit can be set to, and the DFLDSIZ is the default value for # the limit. MAXSSIZ is the maximum that the stack limit can be # set to. You might want to set the default lower than the max, # and explicitly set the maximum with a shell command for processes # that regularly exceed the limit like INND. I don't know anything more detailed. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
