Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
this parameter can not be changes at run time, must be entered in /etc/sysconfigtab and the machine rebooted. Have you done that?
greetings,
Michael

Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
Each process has at least 1 thread, and a lot of application processes have several threads.
I bed that max_threads_per_user was not increased equally with max_proc_per_user.
It is recommended to have max_threads=4*max_proc .
Unfortunately yoou will have to boot again to make it active.

Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
And remember there are also the system-wide maximum parameters "taskmax" and "threadmax".
Those can only be increased indirectly by increasing proc:maxusers, but that one can be modified online with : sysconfig -r proc maxusers=[nnnn].

Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
Can we get an exact error message?
Fresh message in /var/adm/messages
You are not getting: " pid table is full " are you?
Can other users, using a different username, log in while one username gets a problem?
(Is it not better to have more, unique, usernames anyway?)
I concur with the request of a view of the sysconfigtab file. Can you attach the bottom part as a .txt here?
Maybe there is a duplicate entry?
Maybe there is a bad spelling?
Your topic uses dashes in the word.
Tried underscores? max_proc_per_user
Have you googled around for earlier discussion on similar questions? +tru64 + 'max_proc_per_user'
Maybe add +site:itrc.hp.com?
For example:

fwiw,
Hein.

Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
Between V4 and V5, there was a change in the sysconfigtab dash/underscore usage.
In V4.* , a dash is used in the names
In V5.* , an underscore is used, but a dash is also recognised
so
max-proc-per-user in V4
and
max_proc_per_user or max-proc-per-user in V5
So, be sure that only dashes are used (-)

Re: kernel parameter cant be changed
You say that users can't connect to the system. Do you have enough ptys configured. If not, you won't get higher then ~32 telnet sessions.
If this is the problem, you should create extra pty devices with the MAKEDEV command. (see the manpage)
