Date: 16 Sep 1995 02:34:28 GMT Organization: ViaNet Communications Lines: 9 Distribution: world Message-ID: <JOE.95Sep15193428@ns.via.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ns I was reading a tech report from Sun that mentioned that one way to increase the performance of web servers was to increase the default size of the backlog value (currently hard set to 5) used in the listen() system call. Solaris has a nifty little program that can reach into the driver and tweak this value at run-time. How do I adjust this for FreeBSD? -joe
