- I understand your frustration. I was wondering the exact same thing.
- However, no, there is no way to disallow the logging on of someone if
- their uid is already being used... The best thing I can recommend is
- to warn them that they can possibly lose their accounts by sharing
- logins. After all, from a security point of view, it's in their best
- interests if they are the only ones who use the account.
