Hi Howard et al, My /etc/gamin/gaminrc contains this fsset ufs none fsset msdosfs none and I still have 16564 files associated with gam_server in fstat out of 17424 open files reported by sysctl kern.openfiles It appears that gam_server doesn't play nice with kill -HUP ( there are 6 processes running) and also doesn't play nice with x-org/KDE as I can often get a program hang/crash as the kernel bitches about too many open files Kmail is particularly susceptible to this. What actually initiates it as there appears to be no related entry in either /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d ? Currently, it is a waste of space to me, and a cause of program instability!
