Hi all

Are then any "specific" parameters that should be set or need to be set in the
kernel if your running a WWW server and "only" a WWW server???


Here's why! 

I called Netscape and they told me that I should increase the maximum number of
processes per user, the file handle and instQlinks????

I looked in both the man pages and the manual and could find "no" reference to
these kernel option??? Am I on the right track?? Has anyone "tuned" a kernel
for web serving that wouldn't mind sharing their experience?? 

Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
