Hello readers,
the number of interactive users has sometimes to be limitted due to
various reasons. The usual way to do that is " SET LOGIN/INTERACTIVE = n "
On the other hand you have some users, which must be able to
bypass this limitation and yet not have other than the default privileges.
The only way to do that without involving the operators or the system manager
is to give these UICs the OPER privilege, which is really too much.  Is there
any other workaround than writing and installing a privileged program?
Thank you for your hints.
