Hello all:
  I am a lowly astronomer trying to manage a DEC workstation for 
the first time. I have poured through the online documentation 
trying to discover how the maximum number of users is set. It 
appears that I must specify "maxusers" or "MAXUSERS" in the 
file /usr/sys/conf/param.c. It is not clear to me that this 
is ever being set, yet my machine allows only 2 users. The default 
is supposed to be 32. My specific questions:

  1) Even if I default MAXUSERS value is set, should I not 
     be able to find what that value is with:
     echo $MAXUSERS      (I can't)

  2) Where exactly is the value of MAXUSERS defined? In my 
     param.c file I see where it is used:

   #if !defined(MAXPROC)
   #define NPROC (20 + 8 * MAXUSERS)
   #else
   #define NPROC MAXPROC
   #endif

  But I do not see where/how the value of MAXUSERS is set. 

Thanks,
Steve Odewahn   (sco@starburst.la.asu.edu)
