hello,
 
I was having a problem  running xtacacsd v3.4 on BSDI 2.0 . The xtacacsd
stops responding after the first login from the Cisco 2511 router
with 10.3 software.  Also, the xtacacs_utmp file was showing huge size
 
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  4294967332 Jun 30 23:41 /var/log/xtacacs_utmp
 
   I was able to solve the problem by commenting out any reference for 
writing to
utmp file, this is working OK now.  However,  I need to limit number of 
simultaneous
logins for users ( numlogin = 1 in the xtacacs_conf file).  From what I 
understand is
that this functionality in xtacacs users the utmp file.
 
Has anyone been able to run xtacacs v3.4 on BSDI 2.0 and limit number of 
logins to 1?
 
I appreciate your help.
 
Thank you in advance.
