tuning a system for a single user

[Kristaps Kūlis]

Hi,
 I believe no FreeBSD system is "single user". As root, daemon users,
system users, "nobody" is required for running system smoothly,
securely and easy, so scheduling is nessecary :)
 Quotas / MAC / Auditing can be disabled by compiling your own kernel,
please refer to handbook for futher info.
 kern.maxusers is autotuned.

 FreeBSD is multiuser OS, if you wan't singleuser os, install FreeDOS :)
