We are running two Ultrix 1.2 systems and have been having a problem
with the number of users that we can log on simultaneously. We traced
the problem to the quota table filling up.
This limit is controlled by nquota. The problem is that the value of
nquota in the binary is not the same as that in the core image
ie we can alter the value of nquota in the binary by adjusting maxusers
but when the kernal fires up it becomes set to a particular value.
The value that nquota is set to is different for both of the machines.
and is not consistant with our configuration limits.
I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening ie do DEC change this
value on purpose and if so what formula do they use. Also, does anyone know
of some kind of fix for this problem.

The core image may not always have the same value as nquota in binary. Why can't the start up value of the kernal be changed to something within your system's configuration limits; that should take care of the problem.
