Hello.
For class evaluation purposes, I would like that one user could only establish one SSH connection o a OS X 10.4 server.
It linux I could mess with the /etc/security/limits.conf, but it does not seem available in OS X.
Also, in sysctl I could not see any suitable variable to set.
Any ideas please ?
Best regards
Dave

Are you using a central Open Directory server for your user accounts?
If so, you can set the simultaneous login option on a per-user basis in the directory. I don't know of any way to do it on standard/local accounts.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes this server has Open Directory up and running.
Most users have been lately created using a script and this seems to enable the
"Allow simultaneous logins on managed computers". Anyway this might only afect workstation logins, because
I've tested to uncheck this option and I was still able to open several SSH connections to the server.
So any other suggestions are welcome.
Regards
