The maximum number of processes for users is defined by the "maxuproc"
attribute for the sys0 device.  To list the attributes, you could do
something like "lsattr -E -l sys0".  To change the max number of 
processes, execute "chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=xxx" where xxx is the
number you want to set it to.  I suppose you could do this with smit also.
