When I first tried this I used:
$ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences MultipleSessionEnabled -bool false
and it worked. But, subsequent tries didn't work.

In Snow Leopard, I opened the file 'startup/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences' with Property List Editor.app and changed 'MultipleSessionEnabled' manually only to find that this file is protected and will not allow changes to be saved. (MultipleSessionEnabled only appears after you have manually enabled fast User Switching via Login Options in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.)

I didn't try in SL only Lion.


Perhaps you have to change the Permissions on this file to get this to work. (I haven't tried that, however.)

I tried that in Lion. It didn't help at all.

 GUI scripting, I got as far as the password but can't get the click to register on "Login Options".
