I think this is repeatable on this kind of configuration, but I am not sure whether it happens on larger configurations. >Fix: I do not know. I guess the actual problem is that "maxusers" does not really indicate any relation to maximum number of users. 256 is not enough for host running just an irc server, nothing else. Increasing NMBCLUSTERS separately seems to be the "fix" here (in addition to fixing process sizes, file descriptors and such more standard things). >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
