  How does HP-UX count a user that must have a licence? While back I
someone mentioned in a article, that it would even count individual
X windows or at least clients as a user each. This got me a bit
worried and we called local HP. At least the local salesman here replied
that actually 2 users licence is enough for any number actual users,
if they come in from network connection (e.g. ethernet device is one
user, console device another; any number of telnet sessions and x
clients could be started without exceeding the user limit).

  Was the person giving wrong info or not?
