Limit number of logins per user

Hi,
We have an rx7620 11:23 server, and I want to restrict the number of logins per user - if I edit /etc/default/security file and set:

NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=1

is this all I need to do? I know for an 11:11 box PHCO_27694 was needed but as far as I know this is fixed in 11:23 - so will I need to do anything else??

Many thanks in advance!!!

Re: Limit number of logins per user

Hi:

This should be fine. Of course, this applies only for non-root users using telnet or rlogin.
