Subject: parallel logon solution correction
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

When my post on the parallel logon problem hit the mailing list (and copied
back to me) I noticed I left out part of the statement (that's what happens
when I type from memory rather than printing out the darn script :) ). The
correct ppplogin script is:

#!/bin/sh -
if [ `who | cut -d\  -f1 | grep $(who am i|cut -d\  -f1) | wc -l` -gt 1 ]; then
        echo Already logged on.
        exit
fi
/usr/sbin/ppp -direct `tty|cut -d/ -f3`

I inadvertently left out the grep portion (which would not make your users
very happy). Sorry about the omission.
