Among the links he posted on his comprehensive compilation, he sent tuning-openbsd.ps. I remember one reply of a developer stating that some of those tuning measures are not needed anymore as OpenBSD has grown quite a bit since that time. Which are the recommended -always working- directions, then, to tune a system for its particular needs? My point is we all have to be careful and not follow guides or try values on sysctls blindly (although experimenting is welcome and healthy) as we can harm more than benefit we can get. Still, some enviroments will need adjustment to push much more traffic than GENERIC can, and this is a really hard task to accomplish unless you are a @henning or @claudio :) > On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 9:04 AM, nixlists <nixmli...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 1:45 AM, Bret S.
