too many users logged in

Hi,
I have 3 DEC Alpha 700 machines in my area and they are NIS linked. They
are appropriately called 7, 8 and 9. 7 is the main NIS server.

The problem I am facing is this. Users can log into node 7 without any
problem. There can be 20 users, there's no problem. However, on nodes 8
and 9, once 5 users have logged in, it tells me "too many users logged
in" or something along the lines.

Someone suggested to me that it could be a shortage of tty's, but that is
not the case. I checked to see how many users would be allowed to log
in, according to the license, and that's not a problem either.

If anyone can offer any suggestion as to how to fix this problem, it will
be appreciated.

Sincerely
Santosh Krishnan
