CMS Shows 2 Connections For Each User

Just noticed something a little unusual this-afternoon: if I go into the Unix system from the CMS Terminal Emulator menu & type "who -u" to get a list of currently connected users, a lot of them are showing two connections to the server: one from the IP address of the PC (which you would expect) & a second connection from "localhost".

The PCs in question are using SSH for connectivity & are connecting to an R15 (HA) CMS platform. I was wondering if any forum members have seen this before & can offer an explanation? Does the use of SSH show two connections in this manner? If so, does it therefore use two CMS licences? I doubt it, but you never know... :)

TIA,


B'Billy
 
This is correct when running Supervisor in SSH mode you will end up with two logged in users in the CMS. One is for the putty (SSH) tunnel and the other is a telent session the Supervisor client run over this tunnel, Yes Supervisor still uses telnet! this is why you cannot fully disable telnet on the CMS however you can set it so it allows local (CMS server) connections only.
