- >SunOS limits a normal user to 25 processes or so.
-
- As has already been pointed out in many postings here, it only does so
- under SunOS 4.x if:
-
- 1) you've set "maxusers" so that the total number of processes
- is 30 - which would be rather tricky in at least some SunOS
- 4.x versions, given that the total number of processes is 10
- + 16*"maxusers", and "maxusers" is an integer;
-
- 2) you've tweaked the "param.c" file to, for example, not
- override the definition of MAXUPRC, and to use the value of
- 25 from "/usr/include/sys/param.h".
-
- You weren't simply assuming that, because MAXUPRC is 25 in
- "/usr/include/sys/param.h", the total number of processes per user was
- 25, were you? If so, please read "/usr/share/sys/conf.common/param.c"
- if you have it on your machine....
-
- Dunno what SunOS 5.x does.
