Hi Mike,

we are a few volunteers here administrating a network at a school. As we
aren´t financly (is this a correct english word?) supported, we have to
charge our "customers" (pupils!) to keep our net alive! But a few customers
share their account now and we don´t have the personal resources (and
especially are not willing to) to control each access. Therefore we search
for a solution to disable the multiple logins, because it would only be
possible to give the account away, if the pupil don´t want to use it the
same time.
Did you understand? (Although my english is "$/§$&!)
