i may be bad, but i think you'll have to recompile kernel with higher 
number of users allowed. you can get syssrc.tgz on one of the netbsd ftp 
sites, move it to /, then uncompress it.
then go to /usr/src/sys/arch/conf and create your own configuration file 
(you can also use adjustkernel program from pkgsrc, or copy the GENERIC 
config file, for example). then change the value of "maxusers" in the 
configuration file to the desired number, do config NAME where NAME is 
the name of your kernel config, then
cd ../compile/NAME
make depend
make

and you'll get new kernel to replace the old one...

hope i didn't forget anything important...

regards,
lubos
