But if the shipped defaults does not work for most people, shouldn't the shipped defaults change? I would guess that most FreeBSD boxes are used as single-user machines, so maybe we should ship it with more relaxed limits? At the moment the shipped defaults does not seem to work for anything that I have, which is news servers, web servers, development servers, mail servers or personal machines. Or maybe we must specify for what kind of box the defaults is suitable? John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za
