Steve, The formula for determining the USERS is not at all accurate. I once had a small filepool on a system that only had 35 userids in its directory. I found that with a value of 100 for USERS, which was higher than the formula suggested as only 16 of the users were even granted authority to access the single defined filespace, the system would rapidly grind to a halt. By upping the value for USERS to 1000, things ran smoothly.
