What is reported in the older version of netstat is NOT the limit, but the peak in-use since the system was started. The %in-use is the ratio of the number currently in-use vs. the peak number since system startup. Your twenty user system simply had a high peak at one point and settled down to something less than 1/10th of that (thus the low %in-use). In that version of netstat that you're using, there is no way to get the maximum number. Newer versions of FreeBSD netstat include the maximum as well as the peak and current in-use. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
