Two users can register the same XPA access points on the -same machine without conflict, because the user's username is -registered with each access point and, by default, programs such as -xpaget and xpaset only process access points of the appropriate user. -For example: -<PRE> - XPA xpa1 gs 838e2f67:1262 eric - XPA xpa2 gs 838e2f67:1266 eric - XPA xpa1 gs 838e2f67:2523 john - XPA xpa2 gs 838e2f67:2527 john -</PRE> -Here the users "eric" and "john" both have registered the access -points xpa1 and xpa2.
