I noticed in another thread "thread690-1251570" there was some info shared about this topic. I have been using something on my CMS for sometime, and works beautifully. Just replace the "/usr/bin/cms" with the new "/usr/bin/something" replacement

******** START OF SCRIPT **********
LOGINTAB="/etc/logins.table"

LOGINMAX=`grep '^[ ]*'$LOGNAME $LOGINTAB | tr -s "\011" " " | \

cut -f2 -d' '`

[ -z "${LOGINMAX}" ] && LOGINMAX=8

TTY=`ps -p $$ | grep -v PID | tr -s "\011" " " | cut -f3 -d' '`

echo "You are logging in at line $TTY ..."

LOGINDEV=`/usr/bin/w | grep \^$LOGNAME | grep -v $TTY | \

tr -s "\011" " " | \

cut -f2 -d' ' | tr -s "\012" " "`

if [ $LOGINMAX -ne 0 ]

then

LOGINCNT=`echo $LOGINDEV | wc -w 2> /dev/null`

LOGINCNT=`expr ${LOGINCNT:-0} + 0`

echo "Total number of sessions loggedin $LOGINCNT"

if [ $LOGINCNT -gt $LOGINMAX ]
then
echo $LOGINCNT
# /usr/ucb/logger -p daemon.notice -t PROFILE \

# "Denied login - user <$LOGNAME> - lines $TTY and $LOGINDEV"

echo "You are already logged in [$LOGINDEV] ..."

sleep 3

kill -KILL $$

fi

fi



/usr/bin/cms

********** END OF SCRIPT **********

The line "[ -z "${LOGINMAX}" ] && LOGINMAX=8" controls the amount of logins per user. This particular one is set for 8 sessions for the user that has this applied to their account. Just tweak the number to the amount you want, then save the file.

Just create the new file in "/usr/bin/something", then chmod to 755. Apply the new file either by editing the "/etc/passwd" file or through the GUI using "admintool". Of course depending on your preference, and version of Solaris. :)

Thanks,
Johnny
 
Very nice; why don't you add this as a FAQ?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it doesn't work for me.
I have created a file with the script named something (in usr/bin) and I let only 1 login per user in LOGINMAX=1.
Then I edit the file etc/password pointing some login to usr/bin/something instead usr/bin/cms.
When I loggin in a couple of PCs with the same login and works for the both.
Any help from whose it works please.
Regards
