How to enable multiple users logging in to the same client machine?

Hi,
We have our home directories shared from the server (using AFP) and this allows our users to log in to any machine via the normal console login.
But if you try to remotely login to a machine with ssh, and another user is already logged in at the machine, then you get the error message:
Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/machinename/Users/keith: No such file or directory
I can connect (via) ssh, only if no user is logged in at the console. If I connect with ssh when no users are logged in, and then a user logs in at the console, then this unmounts the home directory for the ssh user.
I have read about the mnthome command, and if I try running this (from my ssh login whilst there is a console login) then I get the error message:
Error: Mount failed with error 1 Operation not permitted
I'm assuming that multiple ssh logins must be allowed somehow? Can you only do this if you share your home directories with NFS (in this case, I understand that all home directories always appear mounted on each client)???
Any help appreciated,
Keith
Server and all clients running 10.4.3
iBook & PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the info. I really thought that this would be a fixable problem. I also thought that it might work when two different users both logged in using ssh only (i.e. when there is no console login). But this also causes problems for the second ssh login.
What practical work-arounds have people tried? The respondent to your other post (linked to above) suggested that NFS sharing might work, only that ssh logins still don't mount the home directory. Is this the case?
Thanks for the speedy answer.

How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

How do you keep two users logged in at the same time?

How do I keep two users logged in at the same time to be able to access home sharing?

Fast User Switching in Users & Groups or Accounts preferences in Login Options.

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it. How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet. You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user. Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
edit it.
If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed. That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

How to configure multiple listeners to listen for the same instance.

Hello everyone,
I am running oracle database 11g and I want information regarding how to configure multiple listeners to listen for the same database instance. Actually I know how to configure more than one listener but the main thing that I am confused about is when we create listener.ora file, do we have to statically register the database instance with both the listeners or the instance will register itself with both the listeners.
According to my knowledge the instance will register with the listener specified by LOCAL_LISTENER parameter and we cannot have more than one value for this parameter.
Please only give detailed answers with example as I am tired of simple answers with details that I already know.

Hello,
Yes, it can make sense to have several listener for one Oracle instance. For instance you may have one listener for the applications another listener for DBA administration tasks as well as one listener dedicated to dataguard broker. It is not possible to have several listeners listening on the same IP and Port.
By default the database try to automatically register to a listener on port 1521. To instruct the instance to register to a specifc list of listeners you can add in the init.ora the local_listener parameter with an alias definition:
i.e
local_listener=MY_SET_OFF_LISTENERS
in your tnsname.ora add an entry called:
MY_SET_OFF_LISTENERS_LOCAL= (ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myhostname)(PORT=1530))
(ADRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myhostname)(PORT=1531))
(ADRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myhostname)(PORT=1532))
In this sample your instance will register to three listeners listening on respectively port 1530, 1531 and 1532
If you want your clients can be balanced over the 3 listeners

How to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part

Hi,
I want to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part like mentioned below:
http://server/pages/Default.aspx?Title=Arup&Title=Ratan
But it always return those items whose "Title" value is "Arup". It is not returned any items whose "Title" is "Ratan".
I have followed the
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA102509991033.aspx#1
Please suggest me.
Thanks | Arup
THanks! Arup R(MCTS)
SucCeSS DoEs NOT MatTer.

Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
(or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

How to disable multiple users logging

hi
I posted a question earlier and googled the same question but found no fruitfull solutions.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=748292
Rather than solving the problem i am looking for a way around it. Is it possible to Allow just one user to login to the website from one PC?
lets say user opens two windows and both have login page of the website. If user logs in from window1 and tries to login again from window2 (even with same username) the error page displays the message. How would this be possible?
I do something like this but this doesnt work
       HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(false);
       if(userSession!=null) {
               System.out.println("Entered here");
       userSession.invalidate();
       userSession = request.getSession(true);thanks

How can we enable multiple people to work on the same Xcelsius file

I want to enable multiple people work on the same file as I am working on. How Can I achieve this task?

Hi Jain,
I dont think there is a logic behind your requirement. If multiple persons are allowed to work on one file, then whose modification has to get saved as a final copy. Even in MS office documents also, you will be notified/prompted if you are opening at the same time some one else is already working on the same. Please clarify your requirement more.
If i presume that if you are talking about the Xcelsius output file such as word, pdf, etc.,. then it is clear that all can open the same file in read only mode except the one who is opening the same First. Anyhow they cannot modify the SWF contents. Only header or footer can be inserted.
Hope this is clear. Please revert on your exact requirement.
With best wishes

How to enable Chase Referral? After doing the same how to verify that part?

Hi,
Please guide me on enabling chase referral on my Active Directory server. Also after enabling the same how to verify it?
Setup info:
Forest1:

ind.test.com(child1)
us.test.com(child2)
Both these forests has two way transitive trust enabled.
We have product where we can add LDAP settings so that AD users can be mapped to that server. I have added Forest1->PDC to that settings where I am able to retrive the objects during LDAP search. Chase Referral option is available, when I enable the option
and try to search for a user present in Forest 1-> child domain no object is returned.
Is there any thing that needs to be done on AD servers. Please help.

How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
Thank you

The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.

Multiple User Accounts Belonging to the Same Person--Authorization

Hello,
I've used iTunes for a number of years, and have accumulated a handful of Apple user accounts over that time period. I've always been able to de-authorize old computers and re-authorize new ones to be able to play all of the songs I've purchased over the years on whatever machine I'm using currently, but I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and have only been able to get into one of my Apple accounts on it. Obviously I'm aware that it's not ideal for me to be one person with multiple accounts, but as my email accounts changed (and as I got older), I just kept re-registering. Now, iTunes seemingly isn't even registering that my two older accounts exist: my passwords, which I know are right, are no longer working to sign me in, much less to authorize this new computer to play the songs I bought probably 6 or 7 years ago.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get Apple to condense my accounts, especially considering that the original iTunes account I had was through AOL (the later two are through gmail accounts), though my end goal is really just to be able to play all of my music.
Any ideas on how to solve any of these issues would be greatly appreciated! At this point iTunes isn't even recognizing the older two accounts, as I said earlier.
Thanks!
Elise

You said it right there, in your post... Call Apple for support with combining the accounts. I have never heard of them doing that. But, if they can, you would need to contact them as they do not read these forums.

Numbers: how to edit multiple "sheets" "tables" all at the same time

I have read earlier posts from 2004 about this topic. Hoping things have changes.
I have 19 sheets/tables in a numbers file "Pigeonrecords.numbers". I would like to globally alter all of them a one time as new columns or rows are needed and or data that applies to all the sheets/tables. How do I do that?
Thank you.

You can do a few things. For instance, you can select all the tables you want to modify and you can add a new row or column to each.
