Tuning maxusers on Solaris is a bad idea, not sure about Linux. It's an ancient tunable whose meaning has long since ceased to control the max number of interactive users and it serves more as a master control knob for sizing the whole system. The impact of fiddling with it is potentially large. Much better to find the more specific tunable for the thing you want to change.
