<para>The FreeBSD kernel will only allow a certain number of
processes to exist at one time. The number is based on
the <literal>MAXUSERS</literal> option in the kernel
configuration. <literal>MAXUSERS</literal> also affects
the <varname>kern.maxusers</varname> &man.sysctl.8; variable.
<varname>kern.maxusers</varname> also affects
various other in-kernel limits, such as network buffers
(see <link linkend="panic-kmemmap-too-small">this</link>
earlier question). If your machine is heavily loaded, you
probably want to increase <literal>MAXUSERS</literal>.

This will increase these other system limits in addition
to the maximum number of processes.</para>
