samba - Mar 1998 - Multiple simultaneous logins

Hi,

I am dealing with a samba-1.9.17p5 SPARC Solaris box, with its password
server set to an NT4 PDC. Clients are Win3.11 through to NT4.0

I would like to limit users to a single simultaneous session, ie. logged on
from one workstation at a time only.

I can't seem to see any way of doing this, short of maybe doing some ugly
jugling with pre/post exec and #including an invalid users file (or words to
this effect).

Am I missing something/has anyone done anything simmilar.

thanks...

What about specifiy a share 

[%U]
	comment = Home directory
	.....
	max connections = 1

This is not fail safe but normally logging in means certain access to
users and if that access is denied they won't bother.  You couldn't
specify a max simultaneous connections using the [homes] share since
this would affect all users rather than just a specific one.




Hope this helps,
