I have a Pentium 100 running BSD/OS 2.1:
stevie# uname -a
BSD/OS stevie 2.1 BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 Kernel #3: Mon May 13 12:44:37 EDT
1996     root@stevie:/usr/src/sys/compile/DTI  i386

I run 60 web servers on it currently.  I've been bumping maxusers to
deal with running out of processes in the past.  I just went to jump
from 256 to 512, and got the following warning when doing a "config":

stevie# config DTI
DTI:7: warning: maxusers (512) > 256
Don't forget to run "make depend"
stevie# 

Is it okay for me to keep going on this, or should I heed this warning?
Anyone's though's on the matter much appreciated.
