Good morning!
We have a GS160 running 4.0G (5.1a coming soon) and need to limit login
sessions to 1 unless an individual is listed in an exception list. I have
scoured the archives and did find what is essentially the same solution we
have tried; adding a routine in /etc/profile to check if the user is already
logged in via a "who/grep" combination. This solution was unacceptable
since we, on average, have almost 1500 users active at any given time. This
is complicated by the fact that most of the thousands of processes running
are MFCOBOL (rts32) and consume all of the cpu cycles in system with
fidslock (we are working this with Compaq, but that is a different issue)
thus causing the login process to take, on average, 3 minutes with this type
of login checking at peak periods during the day.
Question: Is there a different solution anybody has successfully tried to
limit the number of active sessions a user is allowed without resorting to
running a "who/grep" combination for the user from within the /etc/profile?
Thanks
