William,
Try adding the below to the top of there .profile... We use it here and it
works fine.
##########################################################################
# Check if user is already logged in as only one login is allowed
ME=`who am i | awk '{print $1}'`
echo $ME | grep "^put the user id here" >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
LOGCNT=`who |awk '{print $1}'| grep "^$ME$"| wc -l`
if [ $LOGCNT -gt 2 ]
then
echo $ME >/tmp/2logins.lst
echo Sorry, you are already logged in. Please finish current task
and
echo then continue with the new task. You are now limited to 2
login.
sleep 9
logout
fi
fi
############################################################################
the part "if [ $LOGCNT -gt 2 ]" say if they are already 2 login then they
are not allowed another.
Hope this helps mate.
Thanks

Subject: Restricting logins
Hello all,
Is there an easy way to restrict a USERID to a single login on a system? We
have some users who are sharing their passwords, and sometimes find a single
USERID logged in several times at once. Management has forbidden us from
pummeling the user about the head with large heavy objects.
Thanx,
Bill Capeless
