When I installed a 16-user license on our DEC-3100 (Ultrix 3.1) with /etc/install_upgrade(?), all goes well, and when the machine reboots it says "16 user license", but the old 2-user license is still being enforced.. Since it's the same /upgrade file on all of the DEC-3100s, and some of them work fine, it's pretty odd. A few machines cross mount /usr and perhaps this is breaking things? Now, before I ftp to uu.uu.net and just drop in the BSD telnetd and rlogind, and say "to heck" with the whole silly license business, can someone comment on what's going on with the license code to cause this to happen? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Heirtzler (617) 353-2780 jdh@bu-pub.bu.edu Information Technology Boston University ..!bu.edu!bu-pub!jdh

Check that your have "options QUOTA" in your config file - this is neccessary for the license stuff to work correctly - silly, but true... It is worth noting that the "maxusers" parameter in the config file has no direct effect on the user limit, although it should be larger than the max expected number of users to insure adequate allocations for various system resources. -- 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)
