    Hi!,

    Would anyone know how to restrict users to only telnet to a machine once and if they are already connected and attempt another login that their other session is killed and they are permitted with the most recent login
    Running Suse8
    Spartic.

    Why do people insist on using telnet.

    Because they don't know any better and nobody ever told them about the joys of openssh (which is probably installed and enabled by default).

    As for restricting logins, /etc/security/limits.conf is probably what you're after. It won't kill off an existing connection when second is made, but it will deny that second connection.

    And comment out your telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf ;)
