Depends on what you mean. If you want multiple people logged into the same machine, with all but one of them connecting over the network, then yes you can do that. You need to set up the machine as a standalone cpu/auth/terminal. There are instructions in the wiki. If you want people to be able to log in and log out of the machine one at a time in person, then no, there's no support for that. There have been discussions about this in the past, and in fact someone did build something to do this for the previous authentication model. It would require some kernel hacking. > If you have access to the hardware, asking for a password is > naive at best, and deceiving at worst. This isn't completely true.
