Hi Karl. One potential way might be as follows. We use this in here to good effect to disallow multiple system logins. Alter your .bash_profile to touch a file named the users logon name in a "logins" directory when they successfully negotiate a session. Add a check function to .bash_profile for the existence of the same file before allowing login to proceed. If the file exists message the user that they've already logged in and return to login prompt. Alter logout functions to remove file created. Something as bog-basic as below might do the trick. # Check for presence of lock file and exit if it exists if [ -r logins/$LOGNAME ] then echo "You Cannot Have More Than One Sesssion" sleep 2 exit fi # Doesn't Exist So Create Lock File And Proceed touch logins/$LOGNAME Alternatively, if you're not afraid to experiment with PAM authentication this link might be useful for starters... http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/pam-list/2001-01/0070.html HTH.

Server and one test workstation (HP T5515) up and running, all works really well. One question though: Is there any way to not allow a user from loggin in if he or she is already logged in on another workstation? I am using KDM, server runs Gentoo. Really nice would be a pop-up window telling the user he or she can not log in because he or she is already logged in at workstation X, and should log out there first. Any way to do this?
