! for two to eight users these numbers should be just fine.  perhaps you

Some programs and databases open loads of files, and keep them open for
a long time.  The numbers above will be ok only if the users and their
programs are not hogging the system resources.  However, they could
be exceeded by a resource hog running on many terminals. (I know, it
happened to a customer of mine :-)  )/
