look into /etc/security/user
hos to setup your own addtional method
 
I hope this helps
 
* auth1 Defines primary authentication methods for a user. This
* attribute describes Version 3 style authentication methods.
* Commands login, telnet, rlogin, and su support these
* authentication methods.
*
* Possible values: SYSTEM,NONE,token;username.
*
* SYSTEM : Describes normal password authentication in
* Version 3. Version 4 has extended this
* definition to include loadable modules and
* an authentication grammar. See SYSTEM
* attribute description below.
*
* NONE : No authentication.
*
* token;username : A generic name for a custom
* authentication method defined in
* /etc/security/login.cfg.
*
* Example:
* If auth1 is:
* auth1 = SYSTEM,mylogin;mary
*
* And the stanza in /etc/security/login.cfg is:
* mylogin:
* program = /etc/myprogram
*
* This will do password authentication, and then
* invoke the program /etc/myprogram with "mary"
* as the first parameter.

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,
