Subject:   Problem Tuning Maxsockets
Message-ID:  <Law12-OE25tz8ytURyG00007840@hotmail.com>

I am trying to alter the number of maxsockets allocated from the default =
of
2022 to 8192 on a FreeBSD 4.8 box. However, when I try to perform this
operation via sysctl I'm informed the oid (kern.ipc.maxsockets) is read
only. Does this mean I need to recompile the kernel? I've tried 'options
MAXSOCKETS=3D8192' in a kernel recompile - but that was rejected by the =
inital
parse, so either the option is different to the sysctl name or their is
another way to do this? Could someone shed some light?

Thanks

Colin
