Every now and then, when I log on (or off) the compaq tru64 machine, I get
the following message (repeated ad infinitum with different numbers). This
is fixed by manually terminating a process (not sure which one) by the
administrator. Aparrently something to do with kde2 not terminating
processes properly at logoff... any ideas how to fix this?

message:

task_create() failed for pid nnnnn : max_proc_per_user (=64) exceeded for
uid nnnnn

(where nnnnn are numbers obviously)

It's hard to tell without knowing what the process is, and who is its owner.

Ask your sysadmin to up your max_proc_per_user to 96 and see if that helps.

It looks like something is trying to create a process to handle your
shutdown, but you've reached the process limit for your account and can't
create it.

HTH,
