You can also setup an initialization user exit in the AS/400 telnet server.
There is a very good user exit program that you can use on the IBM iSeries web
site(on www.iseries.ibm.com searcb for telnet user exit).  The setup in the
mapping file can be coded with the ip address of your terminal server and using
wild card for device name(ACCT*) to use a device name starting with ACCT.

Subject: [LINUX5250] limiting number of open sessions
Reply-To: linux5250@midrange.com

Is there anyway to limit the number of open TN5250 windows a user can have
open? I know that there are limitations you can apply on the 400 but in my
case that won't work. I'm running a terminal Server (www.ltsp.org) and so
every thing shows that it is coming from that server. anyway if you can
think of or know of a way to limit the number sessions running i would be
much abliged.

Thanks

How about setting the env.DEVNAME variable in .tn5250rc. That way only
the one session with that name can be running. I have this for my work
sessions and for my netshare account from home, as it has the advantage
of grabbing the same SQL session too. I don't know how feasible this is
for your lts, but it might be worth a try. It does involve setting
individual menu options/icons, though (sesion 1, session 2, etc).
