I thought of this, but the sysctls are set appropriately: kern.maxfiles: 12328 kern.maxfilesperproc: 11095 And a cursory examination of the number of open files reveals it's nowhere near that number: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# sysctl kern.openfiles kern.openfiles: 545 The only thing I did notice is that a few times I was bumping up against the concurrentlocal/remote limits, but the timestamps on that don't match up with the errors from tcpserver complaining about forking. -Justin
