I have checked the FAQs but am likely not using the correct
search phrases.

We have built a system using Solaris 2.3. We find that it would
be nice to limit the number of simultaneous logins per user account
to one (for some user groups).

Does anyone have any suggestion on how this might be implemented?

Thanks, as always for the help.

Seems to me it would be easy enough to make a Login program that checks to
make sure you're not logged in before it continues.

However, you would have to make sure that utmp alway knows when you have
logged out. This may require a patch.

This doesn't stop them from rsh'ing to the machine and running xterm with
it's display set to their machine. This doesn't require a log in at all.

Maybe it will be better to limit users from number of pty's

I think you must change kernel :-S

I've done this with a shell wrapper, basically, the user gets the shell
that I've made and all the shell does is check to see if they are on
already and if so, deny access. Otherwise, exec the real shell.
