Im running INN under FreeBSD 2.0 

I get alot of unable to fork errors - especially when the cleanup is running.

The kernel (sysctl) shows 1044 max procs.

Is there some way to tweek up the num of child processes or system or by 
user processes?

Im thinking it must be maxing on max processes owned by one user  or 
something.
