- Bullfinches! I just logged into a VLC under three usernames (the last one
- to log in was unprivledged, only one had extra privs).
- There was rumors of a policy not to allow more than 2 logins (which was
- {damn, I'm not in edit mode} because of the extra power of the 4000s and
- the low price, DEC didn't want people using the 4000 in place of microvaxes.
- (dumb idea in my opinion given what they are competing against.) In fact
- I believe we ran into that policy, but we have the CSLG :) which allows us
- ,as an educational institution to have infinite logins.
