I'm trying to increase maxusers on solaris 2.3 & 2.4.
I've tried values of both 128 and 256 to no avail.

It just stays at the old value, when we look at it
grepping the output of /usr/ccs/bin/nn

On both systems we have the recommended patch clusters
installed.

-I add "set maxusers=128" to the /etc/system
-do a "touch /reconfigure"
-and then reboot.

No dice, what am i doing wrong???

Why doi you want to increase it? The value scales with
the amount of memory you have to a reasonable value for
all systems.

nm doesn't list the value of the variable, only the
value of the symbol.

Try this:

adb -k /dev/ksyms /dev/mem
maxusers/D

No need to reconfigure after change simple kernel variables,
only if you add more devices (ptys)
