limit no. of login.

How to limit the no. of login to linux system?

[Stuart Browne · Accepted solution]

Limit how? Total number of useres? Number of logins a given user can have at a given instance?

Most of those sorts of restrictions should be able to be done with the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM).

See the documentation (/usr/share/doc/pam-*/) about how to use them.

hi Stuart Browne ,

i didn't find the file "usr/share/doc/pam" on my linux , can suggest how to see the document? thx.

'rpm -qd pam' should show you (if you're using a RedHat system).

If not, then you'll need to tell us what you're using.
