Hi,

How does your users login ? Are they use telnet sessions or have dumb terminal installed through some terminal server?

What is the OS version?

there must be a file under;
/etc/default/security

MAX_USERS_ALLOWED=2

and then save the file and test it for a
specific user and try to logon 3 telnet session...your last connection must refused
by your system

Could you please try and answer back?

Hi,

I thought your question otherwise. I thought that one paticular user always gets same tty. Anyways with telnet sessions it is not possible.

I assume you actually want that one user can not telnet to system more than once at a time.
This can be set by /etc/default/security.

From man 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

HTH,
Devender

Thank's Devender...

You want to control that every user must login with only one TTY rgt?

To control root user then /etc/securetty
tty, so that it will ask root user to login into that.
