Maxusers sets up some tables and things, but doesn't directly control how many people can log into your machine. Down towards the bottom, look for the "pseudo-device pty" line, increase the value, recompile your kernel and reboot. That value controls how many people can actually log in at once. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.
