Correct. While gnucash allows consecutive multiple users it does not 
allow simultaneous multiple users.

To provide THAT wouldn't be a simple matter for gnucash developers nor 
would it be simply a matter of changing gnucash itself. For an 
application to allow multiple simultaneous users requires a DBM 
(database manager) for the program to run under as well as a data being 
kept in a database that this manager handles. Well SQL qualifies for 
THAT but I don't know if there are any open source projects out there 
providing a DBM for that.

Asking the gnucash developers to roll their own DBM is too much. A DBM 
wouldn't be specific to an application (though all applications using it 
would need adjustment to run under its control). So THAT is the question 
we need to ask, IS there a project to provide a "free" DBM"?
