NLICLEAR.NLM

NLICLEAR.NLM:  Not-Logged-In CLEAR

Why use NLICLEAR?

NLICLEAR is an NLM which deletes or "clears" unauthenticated user
connections for single-user server licenses.  Unauthenticated connections
cannot be reused until they are cleared.  NLICLEAR allows you to reuse idle
connections by periodically deleting them.

Unauthenticated user connections occur when:

þ     A user specifies a login name after a LOGIN or ATTACH command, but
does not enter a password to complete the login procedure.

þ     A user logs out without logging in elsewhere.

þ     The shell establishes a connection with the file server, but no login
is attempted.

In these cases, the connection is made to the server, but no authentication
is granted to the user except to complete the login or to login elsewhere.

To implement NLICLEAR.NLM use the following command format and parameters:

Command format

LOAD [path] NLICLEAR [parameter...]

Command parameters

Replace path with a full path to the directory containing the NLICLEAR
module.  Begin with a DOS drive letter or a NetWare volume name.  If you do
not specify a path, the operating system looks for NLICLEAR in SYS:SYSTEM. 
(Use SEARCH to set up additional paths for automatic searching.)

Replace parameter with one or more of the following parameters.

NOTIFY

Causes a message to be written to the server console screen each time a
connection is cleared.  Default: No notification.

POLL=number

Sets the time (in seconds) for NLICLEAR to wait between checks of the user
connection table.  The number of seconds can be between 30 and 3600. 
Default: 60 seconds
