Hello,

I am trying to start big brother on FreeBSD 5.2.1 as the bb user.  When 
I run runbb.sh I get the following message:

"Out of file descriptors"

sysctl reports:

kern.maxfiles: 10000
kern.maxusers: 256

I can change the kern.maxfiles attribute but not the maxusers.  Maxusers 
tells me it is not writable.  What is the proper way to correct this 
problem;
.

Thanks in advance for any help.
