Hi, J.

I assume your clients want to do this like we used to with Hypercard, 
sharing a single stack. Are they trying to save per-seat charges, by 
saying that one user at a time is good enough?

How about, as  I've mentioned, a splash screen standalone at each 
seat to do the local authentication? And do something at the remote 
served stack level that allows only x users at a time... they won't 
be able to run the stack alone without an IDE and knowing the way in. 
Is the client having an IDE a concern?
