This time the system came up and said "System Supports 8 Users", and then promptly died while starting the daemons saying "Login Limit Reached". When it finally came up all the way (without the daemons) we had a system with a login limit of 0. Root could log in on the console only, but that was all. We then tried reinstalling the 8 user license upgrade (and it said it installed successfully), but ended up with exactly the same situation. One of the things that is really stupid in Ultrix is that the N user license stuff is tied to the quota system. Therefore, you must have the line options QUOTA in your kernel configuration file. If you don't then you'll always get the "Login limit reached" message if anybody other than root tries to login. Look at the source to login and find where the string "Login limit reached" message is being printed and you'll see what's wrong. -- -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@violet.berkeley.edu ucbvax!violet!rusty
