Re: Authentication:the same userid from only one station at a time

I believe he means that one persons UID can only be used from one station
at one. IE someone can't give his friend his password, and them both use
squid at once. I presume also that he'd like abuse of this type to be
logged, so people can be chastised for giving out their password, to
presumeably an unauthorised user of the network.

Oh, God is playing marbles,                  
With His Planets and his Stars,              35 Auld Burn Park,
Creating havoc through my life,              St Andrews,
With his influence on Mars ...               Fife,
