This is only true when you sign onto the same session side twice.
Sys Req & Enter & start a new sign on session from same side will get you the 
same job name.

Hot key to a different address on the same port & sign on there & you are in 
a different job name.

I suspect the reality is not really 1 person signed on at 5 terminals vs. 1 
person signed onto 5 sides, but that the 1 person signed on at 5 terminals is 
really 5 people using the same sign-on, while the 1 person with 5 sides is 
really one person at a time at that terminal.

Statistics in WRKACTJOB screens might show you that at any one moment a 
person is operating off one side, but never more than one at a time, unless 
they doing the grave sin of running a batch job interactively on one side 
then swtich to another session for other work.

However, if you use WRKACTJOB activity to measure real users vs. open 
sessions, well we have a lot of users whose sessions are in middle of some 
inquiry program but user not actually working there at the moment.
