Linux allows simultaneous logons onto a single machine just like Windows XP. But it is not user friendly as installation, like IIS, need to be done by typing which quite troublesome. I had a few programs that is running on the server that sometimes needs to reactivate when they jam. I won't be free the whole day to take care of the server, so instead i ask some people to take care of it when i'm not around. So i also create a user account to run these program. Since i had set the user account only able to read and excute, I won't be able to modify the files. And so when I need to modify some files, i ought to log out and log in as administrator in order to modify the files. But i need to programs to be running while i edit the required files. What can i do about this? Trust my helpers while creating an account to has full control? But i don't want him/her to edit or touch the files in server since he/she only has to reactivate the programs when jam. Let me know if any part of my situation isn't clear.

By the way, i tried running tsdiscon on win server 2003, what it did is to lock computer. I tried logging in to other acc, i can't but only current logged in account or administrator be able to log in. If i log in administrator, it will force to log off the current logged in account. Sorry to disappoint you but this isn't what i want. Let me rephrase the help i needed. I would like to be able to log in to another account without logging out the current account that is still on or running. Anyone?

I see. But if i run tsdiscon on current logged in account, will the programs that are running, be terminated/suspended while i log into another account? Lets say my account A is running programs but i had to run tsdiscon on account A in order to log into account B. Will my programs on account A be terminated/suspended after i run tsdiscon?

Anyone knows how to set Windows Server 2003 to login another account without logging out current logged in account, just like Windows XP Fast User Switching functions?
