Thanks to Mitch Bertone, Bill Carlson and Bill Sadvary:
(especially for the rapid responses!)

        the kernel parameter "maxusers" is not set in /etc/sysconfigtab, but
        ONLY in /sys/conf/"MACHINE NAME"

Mitch Bertone recommends the following:
        Remove the maxusers from /etc/sysconfigtab

        rebuild your kernel with a doconfig -c "Your-machine-name"

        copy the new kernel file to /vmunix and reboot

Original question:
In OSF/1 DU 3.x, 4.x
/etc/sysconfigtab contains the following
proc:
maxusers=1024
and
/sys/conf/SYSTEM contains the following
maxusers 1024

The following error appears on bootup:
sysconfigtab: attribute maxusers not in subsystem proc

I would gratefully appreciate your advice
what does this bootup error message mean and
how to fix?
