I am a newly appointed "baby-sitter" for an HP 9000/300, and have some questions about setting the system up for multiple users. It is currently running HP-UX 7.0 We have an ether net for the system, but only one person at a time is able to log in through the net at a time. One perosn can also use the console, while another can user a hardwired terminal, which makes a max of 3 users at a time. I am new to networks and as such am not very knowledgeable about them yet. This LAN seems to be the problem with my system, but I don't know how to fix it quite yet. If this posting show too much of my ignorance, I apologize. How do i configure this system, or the net, so that more than one user can access it through the network. ]If I can get this working, then I will advance to System Administrator, so my future lies in your hands. Any help will be greatly appreciated.. Tom Hollowell. -- "My uniform is leather, and my power is my age.

Your system has probably only a 2-user license (I won't go into why you can get 3 logged-in users on a 2-user license). A Series 300 7.0 2-user license allows two non-LAN (i.e. console and RS232 ports) users *or* one non-LAN user and any number of LAN users. You can check your license with "uname -v". If it says "A" then you have a 2-user license. See uname(1) and (uname(2) for details and talk to your HP salesrep if you need a license for more users.
