I must have used the 4 user tape to install the system because when more than four users try to log in a message appears saying 'login limit reached try again later'. So I did an UPDATE installation using the 16 user tape and although the installation proceeded without any problems I still get the 4 user limit. In the configuration file I have MAXUSERS defined as 8. My question is how do I upgrade the system to a 8 or 16 user system without doing whats known as the FULL installation ? I presume if I do a full installation (remakes all file systems etc) instead of an update (only remakes kernal and reloads system software) then I will get what I want but this is a real pain considering how slow the tk50 is in backing up/restoring data (I suspect there would only be one object file different). So before I resort to this has anyone done it with an update or something similar? By the way I am licensed for 16 users, I mistakenly loaded the wrong tape without reading the fine print. Thanks.
