    AIX Licensed Logins, counted and non-counted logins.

DISCUSSION


    There are several ways to access the AIX Version 4.1 BOS, some of which are controlled by the AIX user license. An AIX Version 4.1 user license is required for a user to access the system with the following methods:

    * Logins provided via a getty (from an active, local terminal)
    * Logins provided using the rlogin or rsh -l command
    * Logins provided using the telnet or tn command
    * Logins provided through the Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
    * Logins provided using Apple's CommandShell remote AppleTalk client

    Any other way of accessing the AIX Version 4.1 BOS does not require AIX user licenses (for example: ftp, rexec, rsh without the -l flag, nfs).

    Third-party applications may implement their own user or other license restrictions.
