     A solution mentioned here fairly recently was based on the notion that
(according to the poster) nothing in ISC unix checks the number of users except
/bin/login.  The solution was to use one of the non-ISC login programs floating
around.  (I believe this was mentioned in the context of getting rid of the ISC
ads and copyright notices that disfigure my and probably your screen at bootup.
A different login was suggested as a fix for that also.)  
     (Note in case ISC is reading over my shoulder: yes, I *do* have a multi-
user license.  But the copyright notices are *still* annoying the 3x10^3th time
you see them.)
