[Opensim-dev] Is the message "Please wait 5 minutes" still needed?

[Arthur Valadares]

Stefan, actually those 5 minutes for standalone are actually not true,
you can login right after it gave you the message to wait. So the only
thing we get today is a warning message that you're supposedly already
logged in, but the same symptoms apply (current user is kicked out of
region so new one can login).

Melanie, the patch I applied is already for standalone only. I was
actually wondering about grid, but since you're saying it's needed,
won't even have to look at it. 

I think I will make this standard behavior, so we won't have any more
stuff on OpenSim.ini that we already have. 

Unless someone is strongly against for some reason :)

Thanks all,
