Hey folks,
I wonder if any of you have ever tried to restrict the # of simultaneous
sessions on a FreeBSD box using login.conf. I'm trying to use the
'sessionlimit' but it appears to be doing diddly squat. The class in
question is the following "subshell" one:
subshell:Shell Subscriber Accounts:\
:tc=subscriber:
subscriber|Subscribers:\
:accounted:\
:refreshtime=180d:\
:refreshperiod@:\
:sessionlimit=2:\
:autodelete=30d:\
:expireperiod=180d:\
:graceexpire=7d:\
:gracetime=10m:\
:warnexpire=7d:\
:warnpassword=7d:\
:idletime=30m:\
:tc=standard:
Unfortunately, users appear to be able to log in more than twice. Any
ideas?
I Googled and searched the FreeBSD mailing lists at MARC, to no avail --
half the people claim that it doesn't work, and someone has offered up a
hack shell script to be executed upon user signon, but I would be
surprised if it has gone this long without working.
