Is there a way to stop the same userid from logging on with the same userid more then once on the same server.
We are running a HPUX10.20

Hi


You need to script it

a script that would enable this:

count=`who | grep $LOGNAME | wc -l`
if [ $count -gt 1 ]
then exit
fi

which should be included in either the users' .profile or the system
wide profile

Hello Raj,

you have to take into account that we have at least four different ways to logon:
- serial terminals: getty
- network: telnetd
- network: rlogind
- network: dtlogind (=CDE)

The first three can be checked using the "/etc/profile" approach of the previous reply (attention: ONLY for Bourne-shell, Korn-shell, and POSIX-shell, but NOT for C-shell), but for graphical login a'la CDE you have to put that test into "/etc/dt/login/Xsetup"!

HTH,
Wodisch
