Hi I am running MPIBIN190 on a GS140 running 5.0A patch set 1

When I run setld -v MPIBIN190

I get the follow ing message

 setld -v MPIBIN190

Now I have edited the sysconfigtab and put in the entries for
set-max-num, vm-mapentries and vm-vpagelower ( even though they arent
mentioned in the sys_attrs(5) man pages). It is also documented in the
install notes to add these attributes. The machine was rebooted and
during the reboot those 3 attribute were flagged up on screen as
unknown.

Should I be using MPIBIN190 with Tru64 Ver 5.0A? Or can I just ignore
the fact that thse attributes are unknown?
