It is in the param.h files in this system. param.h on a binary-only system is pretty much a no-op. MAXPID is used in a C source file which you don't have. Same for MAXUID. It is useful only for the definitions it provides you with. You can't change too many of the values and expect the system's behavior to change as well. -- John F.
