    Hi,

    I am getting this error message ( /kernel: file: table is full) on my
    FreeBSD 4.6 box just before the system seems to "freeze" or "lock up".

    I googled it then went to the handbook and read that I need to tune
    kern.maxfiles in my kernel. My question is: Is this something I can adjust
    using /etc/sysctl.conf? If so (and I think I can) what is the syntax I would
    use (I have not had a need to mess with sysctl.conf before).

    I am using the generic kernel. How can I know what the value of maxfiles is
    currently in my generic kernel and how high might I want to raise it?

    Thanks,

    Lisa
