from http://www.unixguide.net/hp/faq/5.13.3.shtml

This can be accomplished using 'adb' as follows:

echo "0d$timer=Y" | adb | tr -d '\011'

where $timer is the timestamp you wish to convert.

Maxusers changes at 11.23

From hp.com

In HP-UX releases prior to HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), the maxusers tunable was used to calculate the default values of nclist, nfile, and ninode, all of which control kernel data structures that determine the system resource allocation.

In HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), however, no tunables depend on maxusers. All tunables that used to depend on it for default values have now been assigned individual numerical defaults. If you still have some need of maxusers it is possible to create user defined tunables using kctune -u. This tunable can then be used in formulas defining other tunables
