We're picturing different set-ups : I'm thinking of a campus system, |
| 13 |
where the machine is in a locked room accessible to the sysadmin (root) |
| 14 |
& users log in somewhere else via machines which act as terminals ; |
| 15 |
you are perhaps refering to a family or small-office machine, |
| 16 |
where there are no other means of access, but users log in separately. |
| 17 |
You are correct in the latter case. |
