You can log on to the command-line interface locally, using a terminal, or remotely, using a
telnet session. For connection instructions, see

Chapter 2 on page 11

. Only one user can be

logged on to the command-line interface at a time, and the local user takes priority over the
remote user.

If a user is logged on locally, and another user attempts to log on remotely, the remote user
cannot log on. The following messages display:

on the remote user’s screen:

sorry, shell is locked

on the local user’s screen:

someone tried to login from network address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If a user is logged on remotely and another user attempts to log on locally, the following
message displays on the local user’s screen:

This system in use via telnet from network address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If the local user presses any key, the system disconnects the remote user and the local user can
then log on to the command-line interface. The system displays the following messages:

on the remote user’s screen:

Connection to host

lost

at the remote user’s command-line interface prompt:

Console is active

The messages on the remote user’s screen may display immediately, or they may display the
next time the remote user presses any key.
