No more processes

        Were running pretty busy web server with a popular
        www-based chat system (yes I know theyre horrible :)on
        AlphaStation 500.

        I keep getting "No more processes" when doing something
        under shell and sometimes "Fork failed" when trying to
        log in. So its obvious I am running out of processes.

        I have increased th max-proc-per-user to 512,
        max-thread-per-user to 1024. However after rebooting
        and checkin the values with dxkerneltuner it says
        max-proc-per-user current value is only 267 and
        max-threads-per-user is only 532.

        Why do they stay so low and are not what I tried to
        configure them to?

        Also how do I get rid of those "no more processes"
        messages?
