/usr/lib/utmpd: file descriptor limit exceded

Hi,
I have a newly upgraded Solaris 8 machine and I'm seeing the
following messages in /var/adm/messages after starting utmpd.:

/usr/lib/utmpd: File Descriptor limit exceeded

The upgrade was done via jumpstart, and it grabbed a couple
of old configuration files. I think I've tracked this message down
to an entry in /etc/default/utmpd, that looks like it was added
as a workaround to a bug that showed users as still logged in
even after they logged out. The entry is "MAX_FDS=0".

I haven't found any references in SunSolve to see if this entry is
still necessary
in Solaris 8. Does anyone know if this entry is still necessary in
Solaris 8?

This is the contents of my /etc/default/utmpd file:
SCAN_PERIOD=300
MAX_FDS=0

Thanks,
Nicole
