Have a look at the man page for security:

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED

This parameter controls the number of simultaneous logins allowed per user. This is applicable only for non-root users.

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0 Any number of logins are allowed per user.

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=N N number of logins are allowed per user.

Default value: NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0

Hi,
Attach is the link to setting the security for login.

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/security.4.html

Or, you can also follow the steps below

Parameter definitions, valid values, and defaults are defined as
follows:
1) number of login tries

From the man pages of the "security" command:
NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED
This parameter controls the number of simultaneous logins allowed per
user. Note that this is only enforced for non-root users and only
applies to the login(1) command or those services that indirectly invoke
login(1) such as the telnetd(1M) and rlogind(1M) commands.

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0 Any number of logins are allowed per user.

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=N N number of logins are allowed per user.

Default value: NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0
this property is a security feature and cannot be modified.

Regards
Vincent

ok guys, i have tried all of these on a trusted
hp ux 11.11.i machine, and none of these work. Will they not work on users before these changes were made?
