Greetings!

I am running into multiple problems with a MicroVaxII currently running
Ultrix32m v1.1.  I hope to get some useful suggestions from the list.

First problem: the kernel keeps writing "Login limit reached" to
/usr/adm/messages.  I have a hard time believing this because it usually
just has one user (me) on it.  This problem is interfering with the
operator backups.  The kernel is configured for 32 users (was 16).  Any
ideas what this really means?

The next problem deals with MMDF mail daemons: they fail to startup on
reboot.  The echo messages from rc.local do state that the mmdf daemons
are starting, but they are never there when I login.  They startup fine
from the root command shell.  (Could this cause the "Login limit"
problem above?  These processes are associated with a tty.)

I don't intend to stay with Ultrix 1.1.  Does anyone have any experience
with 4.3bsd or Ultrix 2.0 on mVaxII's?  I have tried building a 4.3
kernel from our Mt. Xinu 4.3 distribution but these kernels will not
come up single-user.  (Mt. Xinu seems to be missing one driver (device
qv -- isn't that the console monitor?).  Are there substitutes?)

To reiterate, my current choices are Mt. Xinu 4.3bsd or Ultrix 2.0.  I
would certainly be interested in hearing the pros and cons of both (or
even other alternatives).

		Thanks,

		Craig
