[SunHELP] A query

[Michael Horton]

Sujit,

One word of caution: the max_users parameter affects
numberous other parameters.  That is, change max_users
from the default will change other tunable parameters
and could degrade your Sparc's performance.

max_users, in Solaris 8 does not affect the number of
users that can log into your Sparc.  


Hope this helps,

HM
