How do the simultaneous sessions work?

[AwesomeDude091]

Hello, I am a young computer scientist who is trying to understand multi sessions. After browsing through the code on this repository I could not find files were this behavior gets defined. Could somebody please point me towards those files and if they have spare time explain how the concept works? Thanks in Advance, AwesomeDude091

Hi @AwesomeDude091

I'm not sure I understand your question exactly. What do you mean by "multi sessions"? It's not a term I'm familiar with.

[AwesomeDude091]

I mean the ability for multiple users to log in simultaneously. How is this implemented into Linux?

[matt335672]

I still don't follow you I'm afraid.

Linux has always supported multiple users. This isn't specifically xrdp functionality - it's baked into the operating system and inherited from Linux's UN*X roots. xrdp just sits on top of this.

Have you got a specific question related to xrdp?

[AwesomeDude091]

I guess I don't have a question to xrdp then, however what is the name of this baked feature? Also Thank you for the help :)

Reading a bit between the lines, you need to mug up on operating system fundamentals.

Here's a search which has several useful links.
