Setting maxusers to 1 limits the total number of processes on your system to 36 (20+16*maxusers), most of which are taken up by the system itself. Maxusers sets system tables to appropriate levels for your system and not the number of users allowed to log in, so if you set it to 1 because you are the only user on this machine that may be what's causing the error. Unless you need heaps of user processes you can set it to 0 if you're running 4.5 to let the system auto-tune it, pre-4.5 systems are recommended to have this set to at least 4.
