Trying to figure out why when we have 5 users we run out of processes whenever the fourth user tries to login. If I remember correctly it reports that there are no more available processes. SOMEWHERE I "remember" that one has to change a variable called ULIMIT and re-compile the kernal ? It has been a VERY long day and any information will be most appreciated. Thanks again. Vikki.

According to debra@alice.UUCP (Paul De Bra): >cd /usr/sys/conf >look in xenixconf >limits are all there, including processes, processes per user, etc. >change xenixconf (and possible "master") and type make >then mv /xenix /xenix.old and mv xenix / and reboot This method is not the best. (Quick: Which symbol is "max processes per user"? Which symbol is "max processes in system"?) Try this instead: cd /usr/sys/conf ./configure ./link_xenix It's much friendlier, and there's no chance of changing one label when you really wanted to change a slightly different one. -- Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.com> or <uunet!ateng!chip> A T Engineering Me?

SOMEWHERE I "remember" > that one has to change a variable called ULIMIT and re-compile the kernal ? ^^^^^^ I don't think that this var exists, but if it does, it would have to do with the max size of a file on disk... IT sounds to me like you have given each user the same login. Usually there are something like 20 or 25 processes allowed per user (this is configurable). It is far better to give each user a unique login. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG || ..!uunet!rosevax!elric!hawkmoon!det w(612)681-6986 h(612)688-0667 "A proper king is crowned" -- Thomas B.
