Thanks to all of the people that sent me info, there was a bunch of them.
I had correctly done the steps for modifying the config file and rebuilding it,
but what I wanted to know was how can I check the newly built kernal
for my modifications without booting up with it.
I tried the dbx -k FILE /dev/mem but this (which I found out)
only displays the info from the operational kernal. I would have
to boot with the new kernal to see if my changes had taken effect.
So, to increase the number of users here are the following steps.
Edit the /sys/conf/SYSTEM_NAME file and change the "maxusers" field
to the desired number.
Exit and save that file.
Then do a doconfig -c /sys/conf/SYSTEM_NAME
This will use your previously edited config file.
Copy the newly created kernal into the / directory and reboot.
After the system comes up type
dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
then type "p maxusers". That will tell you how many users are currently
allowed.
