Personally, I'd put it in sysctls per covics post. Can you imagine three years hence trying to find why max_user_instances is set non-default and *nothing* in the usual places gives a clue why? When you eventually resort to "grep -r max_user_instances /etc" and realise that a kernel setting is being changed in your imap server config, you will curse and swear to the heavens (been there, done that) Of course, it's up to you. I just like to make config settings in places that are the most obvious to everyone who is not me -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
