         <answer>
           <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>.
+            probably want to increase <varname>kern.maxusers</varname>.
             This will increase these other system limits in addition
             to the maximum number of processes.</para>
