MAXUSERS is a constant which is somewhat misleading; it is simply a measure for how many users you expect to be dealing with on the system. Advice varies on how to count X sessions, etc. You can build with a different value for MAXUSERS, if it suits you. I administer several boxes: daily-bugle# limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 131072 kbytes stacksize 65536 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse unlimited memorylocked 253420 kbytes maxproc 4115 openfiles 8232 which have MAXUSERS tuned to 256. It also has 256MB RAM to back that up. Cool eh... "Can I please lock 250MB in core".. ... JG
