This article is a bit outdated (and apache claims the document date is 13/Jul/09). This is no longer true for FreeBSD 8+, as it was bumped there to 1023. See early discussion and proposed change. http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-05/1086.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2009-June/028939.html -- wbr, pluknet
