It's my understanding that there are issues in Linux with being logged
in as the same user in multiple instances. Is this not correct? There
are howtos on the k12 page about how to disallow multiple instances of
the same login. I set those up here at my school and things are much
smoother now. We had problems with users losing the ability to run
Ooffice or losing documents that they were working on. Although we
occasionally still have a machine freeze (working on that one), we
haven't had the Ooffice problem or missing documents since.<br>

<pre wrap="">On my system if I attempt to log in while I'm already
logged in somewhere else, gdm notifies me and asks
something like "abort or log in anyway?". I guess
that could be changed to "kill the other session or
log in anyway". Well I don't know how to do it, but
I'm sure it could be done...

<pre wrap="">I dont know if thats such a good idea, what if i

at disconnected session,
killing them at login is, well, backwards. The same
issue is making linux look
unstable if i use it at a normal desktop extensively
under longer periods. I
have seen this behaviour on Gentoo, Redhat FC1, 2
and 3 and Ubuntu Linux. The
common dominator is that i have used GDM on them
all.
Why the processes wont die i dont know but i suspect
that they are just left
hanging totally unwitting the state of the session.
Maybe i should just shut up and get my behind on
track learning programming.
