Insuficient space on /dev SCO 5.5

Unix SCO 5.5
Insuficient space on /dev - when I run df I get /dev 99% usage.

I have a large number of users (most of them are not with the company since Cretacic) and I want to delete them to make more space.
When I run rmuser I get rmuser: not found

if I type
su root
rmuser
rmuser: The system is in a secure mode -
to prevent against reusing uids, users may not be removed


I know that I can start the system in idfferent security contexts 0, 1, 2 but how do you cahnge that?

Help is appreciated
