Telnetd connection restriction

[Guest_imported]

Hello everyone,

I need to know how to restrict the number of connections users can have active at one. I would like to set my HP 9000 (10.x) to let users have only 3 active telnet sessions going.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi

Something like this might do - test before implementing

# Limit number of logins allowed
Logins_allowed=2
Logins_in=`who | grep $LOGNAME | wc -l`
if [ $logins_in -gt "$Logins_allowed" ]
then
echo "$LOGNAME is already logged in $Logins_allowed times!"
exit
exec /bin/login
fi

Something like this might do i the .profile of the user - test before implementing

# Limit number of logins allowed
Logins_allowed=2
Logins_in=`who | grep $LOGNAME | wc -l`
if [ $logins_in -gt "$Logins_allowed" ]
then
echo "$LOGNAME is already logged in $Logins_allowed times!"
exit
exec /bin/login
fi

Thanks!

So, where do I put the script?

Hi

Put it in the .profile of the users home directory.
