[Opensim-users] Multiple concurrent logins on same user account possible?

[Sarge Misfit]

I'm not a developer, but I don't think this is viewer related.

Something to remember, each account has a its own UUID, the operative U is
for Unique. I doubt OpenSim will allow for the same UUID to be present more
than once.
