remember also that as soon as a user makes the connection either with ns or
telnet that the user could is incremented.  so there may only be 25-30 users
sessions but if there are 25 other sockets opened for telnet or ns/VT that
will explain the count.

> Hi folks,

> I have just been delivering an MPE/iX HPVC course and a
> student (with VERY little experience) came up with a question
> that I cannot answer, for two reasons:
>
> 1. I don't have access to his system so I don't know the state
>     or what is running on it etc etc
> 2. I have never come across this before.

> Anyway, it would appear that his Job and Session limits are
> set to 50 or 60 and Jobfence set to 0 but with only 25 (approx)
> sessions currently running. He (users) have received "Unable
> to create new sessions.." messages. He does not know, yet,
> how to monitor the system or to find out what is going on as
> he has been given the system after the previous admin left! In
> other words he may have been handed a 'can of worms'?!

> I guess the biggest problem at this point is not knowing what
> is actually running on the system but.....

> Anyone have any idea's about this or has anyone seen this

> I believe he is based in the Houston area and any suggestions
