not login by using telnet

>>Exceeds number of logins allowed (3) for user SN95599

This appears to be the problem. It thinks you are already logged in 3 times and that is the limit.

Hi Patrick,

How can we resolve this?


Thank you.

>>How can we resolve this?

Log out of some sessions, perhaps.

I believe there is a setting in /etc/default/security that can control the number of logins you are allowed. You may want to check that file as well.

As adviced by >>Patrick Wallek

Check below under the security file)
parameter (NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0)in /etc/default/security

>>How can we resolve this?<<

by increasing LOGINS_ ALLOWED counts,
hope it may be "Audit Security" concern, :)

Are you supporting for any "Gov..?? Projects" usually we have these kind of settings , while handling Government Project :)

hi

if ur system is trusted

then try out with

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k username

change the values in /etc/default/security.but that depends on ur setup.

if not trusted passwd -d username

if u had settings as not to accept null passwd
then use passwd -f username. u can use the -f option both in trusted & untrusted system.

[S.S.]

Yes patrick and Johnson, you are right. we have /var/default/security file eventhough our system is converted to trusted and having the entry "NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=3", so 3 times of logins allowed right.
May i know, is that i didn't exit the telnet session's properly previously? or else i tried morethan 3 times to logon?
Don't have problem when using the ssh session.

When i changed this parameter value to 0 then i am able to logon.

>>May i know, is that i didn't exit the telnet session's properly previously?

Yes, that is entirely possible.

If you do a 'who' does your username show up more than once? If so, the system still things you are logged in.

SS, wouldn't be better to send the info first? It is very important to understand the problem.

>Exceeds number of logins allowed (3) for user SN95599

Most of the users say "This is not working." And ask for help like this:
"Why it is not working?"

I have understood the problem. Thank you for clearing me.

Many thanks to all reponding to my thread.
