kern.maxproc cannot be changed. It is a read-only variable. If you need to up this, change the maxusers option in your kernel config, and recompile. For my busy systems, I up maxusers to 256 which gives me 4116 maxproc's. You should decide what works for you. maxprocperuid can be changed via sysctl. It's allowable values are < maxproc. It's best you put this in your /etc/sysctl.conf file. e.g.: kern.maxprocperuid=3D999 Joe Clarke On Fri, 29 Jun 2001, Len Conrad wrote: > Where does one do it? > > mgw1# sysctl -a | grep maxproc > kern.maxproc: 532 > kern.maxprocperuid: 531 > > /boot/loader.conf > kern.maxproc=3D"1000" > kern.maxprocperuid=3D"1000" > > doesn=B4t work. > > Len > > > http://MenAndMice.com/DNS-training > http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND 8.2.4 for NT4 & W2K > http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
