My personal workstation (an RH Enterprise 3 machine) regularly has three
or four users logged in, mostly as a jump-off box to other machines. One
co-worker keeps a VNC session going since it makes it easier to work
remotely. One uses a menuing script I wrote. I do all my testing on it
before deploying to AIX, Sun and Linux systems.
At my house, one development workstation often has at least two people
logged in testing web stuff remotely. A couple of my friends' college
kids also use the C compilers off and on. They login via SSH and do
their homework on the box I'm typing this message on.
Other machines are used by multiple users but have no direct logins:
file server routinely has two family members streaming DivX. Mail server
has eight active accounts. DNS is used by four Windows and multiple
Linux machines. MySQL server is used by several applications (web
comments, address book, journal, etc..
