Thanks Jorg and Anton and anyone else who responded,

  In this particular case, I "lowered the river" instead of "raising the 
bridge":  I ran a usermod and subsequent chown on the 4 accounts blocking my 
expansion of utku accounts.

Also, I wasn't keen on using the "-f" option to force delete kiosk accounts:  
the fact that it saw accounts as being active worried me.  My way is more 
cumbersome [but in my situation, not very much so] but leaves the existing SRS 
install intact.

Someone also suggested creating a dummy account with a UID much higher than the 
highest utku account to prevent a recurrence of the problem [new account using 
a UID one greater than the highest existing UID which in my case happened to be 
the last utku account].

To see what kiosk sessions still are seen as active, use
   # /opt/SUNWkio/bin/kioskuseradm status -v

This shows what displays have been assigned a kiosk user account for a 
session and that account has not been released.

To delete user accounts despite of these, use
   # /opt/SUNWkio/bin/kioskuseradm delete -f

No. The Kiosk Mode component at this level is completely unaware of Sun 
Ray Software in general and failover groups in particular.
