SCO Unix Kernel Configuration

When altering the size of the inode table in Xenix kernels, only the NINODE variable needed to be changed with the NFILE value being matched to the same value for consistency.

Under SCO Unix the same situation applies but an additional variable NS5INODE must also be matched to the NFILE and NINODE variables. In practice the value for all three variables should be the same, failure to alter the NS5INODE variable will result in a kernel which loops on the message:-

System V inode table overflow/
