We shutdown, moved, and rebooted our 5400 a couple of days ago, and surprise! Any attempt to login ( other than root on the console ) got the "too many users" message. Running license shows that we are authorized 64+ logins. Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks muchly! -- | Dennis R.

The two most notorious reasons for this are running a kernel without "option QUOTA" and not running the standard Ultrix init/getty/login (I recall getty as the critical piece). Perhaps in your moving, you changed the default boot sequence and are now booting a different kernel or off of a different drive than previously? -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

As root run LMF. List what is available. Does it show 64+ users for ULTRIX? If not, run lmf reset. And then try to figure out why this isn't being run (or wasn't) out of the rc file. This is almost surely your problem. Fred
