We are having this problem repeatedly. I have used who, users, and ps -elk
and never have these exceeded the maximum users. I have seen other posting's
like this but they haven't been any help. This machine is a 43p-150 running
AIX 4.3.2. The floating license is turned on and maximum users is set to 32.
Sure would like to determine what is making this machine think that all
available login's are in use. Any help sure would be appreciated

Thanks

As far as I can remember, each session that has had a getty spawned
against it is considered to be a login session. So it depends on how
your users are logging on to the box and how they are spawning or not as
the case may be multiple sessions. If they are repeatedly telneting into
the box then they be utilising all of the available sessions, if they
are spawning additional xterms, aixterms, dtterms from their main
session, then these are just additional processes and are not considered
to be login sessions.

One other expalination is that your accounting files (utmp and wtmp) are
not registering that users have actually logged off from the system, and
it thinks that there are more users on the system than there actually
are.

Other than that I am pretty stumped.

Later, John.

Each login session is counted as a user so the only thing you can do is limiting

the number of login session for your users through smit chuser and the field
"Allowed LOGIN TIMES". On the other hand you can raise your floating license
number

I think Allowed LOGIN TIMES means something else and it is not a count.
How do change the licenses....

Thanks

This has happened to me before. As root type in #smit pty. Then select:
Change / Show Characteristics of the PTY. See what your maximum pseudo
terminals is set to and make sure it is larger than your number of user
(I set all of mine to 256). You can increase this while the machine is
running, no reboot required.
