If configuration files are per application it's much less of a problem. 
And applications can implement a configuration file lock much easier if 
they want to detect multiple activity. It reduces the per-login problem 
to a per-application-start problem; which is much better already.

Or a server that is not responding quickly enough or so ... Perhaps a 1k 
euro server isn't sufficient after all ;-P
