I'm having a strange problem w/ a DS3100/Ultrix 4.1. If one of the users
that has an account on my machine tries to log in when I have a session
running, he gets bounced with the message "too many users logged it. Try
again later." At the console of the workstation I have only one session
window open, the mailbox, and the clock. And conversely, if the same
party logs in from a remote device and I try to log in from the console, I'm
not allowed to do so either.
We have a second 3100 in the same office running 3.1, and it does not
exhibit the problem I've described. And one of my colleagues across campus
runs a machine almost identical to mine except for a color display, and
he, to my knowledge, doesn't have this problem, either.
when I installed the O/S, could I have configured something incorrectly?
If anyone out there has a clue, or knows the right questions to ask, please
e-mail me. I'd appreciate any help I can get on this one; it's starting to
make me mad....

To have more than one interactive session, you need to buy extra licensing. -- Javier Henderson Engineering Services Avnet Computer Los Angeles, CA henderson@hamavnet.com {simpact,asylum,elroy,dhw68k}!hamavnet!henderson

There is a perfectly legal trick you can do (thru X window) that will allow an unlimited number of people to login on such "limited" licensing: xhost +machine rsh machine xterm -d your_display:0 It sure works on Ultrix. -- Philip Yzarn de Louraille Internet: yzarn@chevron.com Research Support Division Unix & Open Systems Chevron Information & Technology Co.
