| I don't want to dedicate a machine for controlling my one portmaster...
| Thats what Cyclades serial cards are for - and a whole lot cheaper per
| port than a Portmaster, I use the portmaster because it works. I also
| bought my Portmaster with the understanding that radius (or something
| else from livingston) would be controlling multi logins soon.. that was
| 21 months ago, and a lot of radiuses ago, and it still remains.
|
| Pmmon is a commercial application - they want money. Money that
| shouldn't be nessasary because it SHOULD be build into the terminal
| server & its normal support software (ie - radius).
|
| Why not a 'is this luser already logged in' system? Lets say you have
| pm1-pm8... luser logs into pm8, it checks the 'users' file, sees that
| he has a max-ports of 1... at that point calling all the portmasters and
| going "is this luser already logged in?"... A finger-like software with
| real security would work.
|
| *sigh* it seems like such an easy thing to fix, and its not.
