I want to be able to log on multiple times, simultaneously, to the same
machine, with the same physical keyboard and boutse and screen, but with
different user ids. So that when I'm logged in as myself, and my friend
comes by who wants to use the machine for a minute, I can let him log in
as another, independent user, without me having to log out first.
I hope that's clear.
