The software has to be licensed for more than 2 users.  I suspect that
yours is not and this is the problem here.  The maxusers in the config
file allows you to LOWER the number of users allowed on (lower from
the licensed max) but not raise it higher than that for which you are
licensed.

Understand -- I am not saying your are trying to break your license.  I
just suspect you have the wrong version or did not get a capacity
upgrade kit.  

By the way, the maximum number of users on is that max number of
unique users.  So, to test this out, set up a bunch of test accounts,
and log on to different ones until you get an error message from Login
"Too many users logged on already".  You should get this after 2
unique users on at the same time if this is your problem.

This sounds like a different problem.  Modify the lines in rc.local
to catch standard error into a file to see what is happening.  (It'd
also be interesting to see the command line(s) out of the rc.local
that is trying to start this up.  My *blind* suspicion:  mmdf wants to
be started from a tty and the way it is kicked off in your rc.local it
is orphaned from any tty.  Just a WAG.

Go with Ultrix 2.0.  But then, I'm a bit prejudiced.
