No such thing like a `number of allowed logins'. :) `maxusers' is a rough estimation for certain table sizes. You're probably running out of ptys. There are three things to note here: . the number configured into the kernel (pseudo-device pty) . the number of /dev entries (re-run MAKEDEV for more) . the entries in /etc/ttys -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
