I wonder if it is possible to determine automatically the best value for it. To have multiple users on a machine requires serial terminals or services that allow remote login. My laptop has neither, so it is impossible to have multiple users on it at once. Maybe NFS provides a way to have multiple people editing in one file system. It is possible to determine whether NFS is in use. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
