    look into /etc/security/user
    hos to setup your own addtional method
     
    I hope this helps
     
    * auth1 Defines primary authentication methods for a user. This
    * attribute describes Version 3 style authentication methods.
    * Commands login, telnet, rlogin, and su support these
    * authentication methods.
    *
    * Possible values: SYSTEM,NONE,token;username.
    *
    * SYSTEM : Describes normal password authentication in
    * Version 3. Version 4 has extended this
    * definition to include loadable modules and
    * an authentication grammar. See SYSTEM
    * attribute description below.
    *
    * NONE : No authentication.
    *
    * token;username : A generic name for a custom
    * authentication method defined in
    * /etc/security/login.cfg.
    *
    * Example:
    * If auth1 is:
    * auth1 = SYSTEM,mylogin;mary
    *
    * And the stanza in /etc/security/login.cfg is:
    * mylogin:
    * program = /etc/myprogram
    *
    * This will do password authentication, and then
    * invoke the program /etc/myprogram with "mary"
    * as the first parameter.

    Subject: Restricting logins

    Hello all,
     
    Is there an easy way to restrict a USERID to a single login on a system? We have some users who are sharing their passwords, and sometimes find a single USERID logged in several times at once. Management has forbidden us from pummeling the user about the head with large heavy objects.
     
    Thanx,
