If multiple users are going to sequentially access the same Maxima, you
will have to clean up the system in-between them.
This is not necessarily easy to do. If multiple users are going to
access the same Maxima interactively and in parallel,
this is just wrong.
If you have remote users you should consider what is needed to protect
your computer from security problems,
since Maxima commands can, for example, write files.
