- We have a license for 32 users running ptx 1.4.0 and are running into
- the limitation quite often. However, it seems that there are still
- methods of logging into the system without the 'too many users'
- message showing up.
-
- We have users connecting via: rlogin, telnet, lat, xterminals, x25, and
- through a protocol converter (vista box) via ethernet. Quite often
- we end up with 45-55 users logged in.
-
- How does ptx determine who is a real user and who is a pseudo user, and
- which does 'login' use to determine who can sign in and who can't.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks
