See the man page for login.conf(5) to adjust them. There are some kernel limits that are getting hit as well on large servers. It may be time to petition -hackers to bump those numbers up. > The machine is: P120, 32-megs RAM, Adaptec 7880 SCSI/1-gig Quantum with > Kernel Developer install of 2.2.2R with all of the defaults, and then I > recompiled the kernel as outlined in the Handbook.
