ODT is what SCO calls a 2-user license. They also sell just plain
old UNIX with a 2-uer license. The licensing restriction (which you
SHOULD honor) limits you to 2 concurrent logins. But there software
limits you to only one network or serial line `getty'. Thus you may
be in a situation where you will never have more than 2 users on the system at once
but you want gettys on a number of serial and/or network lines. The
solution is to write your own getty which does not check to see if
there are any other gettys. I did this to solve a problem and it worked fine.
Note this would also allow as many users as you want to login. This
does not make having many user login legal however.
