[HPADM] Can't start multiple dtlogins on virtual displays

An application group asked us to set up 4 Xvnc sessions as virtual displays.
Some developers connect to them remotely to get a CDE login session with the
compression option used between the Xvnc server and client. This improves
performance over the low-bandwidth connection.

The /etc/dt/config/Xservers file entries look like this (sanitized):

devlhost:1 Local local@none /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :1 -cc 3 -desktop X11 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -dpi 95 -fp tcp/127.0.0.1:7000 -auth /users/user1/.Xauthority -rfbauth /users/user1/.vnc/passwd

devlhost:2 Local local@none /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :2 -cc 3 -desktop X11 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -dpi 95 -fp tcp/127.0.0.1:7000 -auth /users/user2/.Xauthority -rfbauth /users/zdpt6/.vnc/passwd

devlhost:3 Local local@none /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :3 -cc 3 -desktop X11 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -dpi 95 -fp tcp/127.0.0.1:7000 -auth /users/user3/.Xauthority -rfbauth /users/user3/.vnc/passwd

devlhost:4 Local local@none /usr/local/bin/Xvnc :4 -cc 3 -desktop X11 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -dpi 95 -fp tcp/127.0.0.1:7000 -auth /users/user4/.Xauthority -rfbauth /users/user4/.vnc/passwd

The followinr error message appears in the /var/dt/Xerrors file when I start
the dtlogin.rc sub-system:

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

/var/dt/Xerrors:

error (pid 13218): All DT utmp IDs already in use. Removing display devlhost:3

What is a "DT utmp ID" and how do I free them up or increase their number?

                                        Thanks, Tom
