# who

Sep 13 15:25:09 localhost login: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user ll by ll(uid=0)
Sep 13 15:25:10 localhost login: pam_limits(login:session): Too many logins (max 2) for ll
Sep 13 15:25:10 localhost login: Permission denied

Is this a know issue/bug ? It's not yet resolved.

Please let me know,If you need more info.

Have you rebooted the computer after the upgrade?

Yes,after yum install , i rebooted the machine and tested with user "ll".
I have Selinux enabled.

Strange, it seems like working now for the first time.-I can live with that -,but not everytime.
=========
see who shows only two logins -
[root@space laks]# who
new1     tty5         2010-09-13 16:26
new1     tty3         2010-09-13 16:27

while trying to login it shows -
# cat /var/log/secure
Sep 13 16:36:20 localhost login: pam_limits(login:session): Too many logins (max 3) for new1
Sep 13 16:36:20 localhost login: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user new1 by new1(uid=0)
Sep 13 16:36:20 localhost login: pam_limits(login:session): Too many logins (max 3) for new1
Sep 13 16:36:20 localhost login: Permission denied
===========
(above log not related to below steps)
--------
Steps to follow - to reproduce:


0.set maxlogin limit as 3
1.login as new1 in tty1,tty2,tty3
2.whiling logging to tty4 it says "Too many logins"
3.logout of tty3
4.login to tty4 it work now.

But If i randomly logout and login again. this issue comes again.
5.logout of 1,2
6.login to tty5 it says "too many logins"

Something is wrong,i don't know what it is.

It works if i wait for a minute and then login again.the issue is fixed for me.

It seems like upstart does not clean the USER_PROCESS entries immediately.
