Optimal values for 500 connections

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi all,

I'm wondering what are the correct values in postgresql.conf for
max_connections = 500 ...

The values I had in 8.2.13 conf file worked without a problem but with
the new 8.3.7 postmaster simply refuses to start.

Any pointers would be highly appreciated ;-)

BR,
