Original Question was:
================

        I have been receiving message regarding "task table full"
I can change the maxusers number, as advised, from CDE Kernel-tuning utility
but am unable to do so from command line.
What I have been attempting to run is:
 
sysconfig -r proc maxusers=64
 
         to increase maximum users from system-set 32.
 
 This returns error "attribute does not allow this operation"

ANSWER
=======

you have to edit a new file, and merge it with /etc/sysconfigtab
with the following command :

sysconfigdb -m -t /etc/sysconfigtab -f <file edited by you>

the format of the file, is like this
---begin----
proc:
        <attribute> = <value>

---end---

but if you want to increase the number of maxusers, you have to recompile
your kernel, go to /usr/sys/conf and edit the `hostname`.conf file
look for "maxusers" attribute and change it, then recompile the kernel
with doconfig -c `hostname`, that should resolve your problem.

=======================
My thanks for your assistance.
