I didn't set the maximum, but it does look like a very reasonable number. This isn't the limit of users you can have on your system, that handily scales into the thousands. What it does limit is the number of *simultaneous* sessions. Beyond some reasonable number (200 may or may not already exceed "reasonable" -- there's a lot of factors involved), you will also need to tweak your database settings, possibly kernel level process limitations, and so on. Try it out and let us know how it goes! Aaron
