-
- Yes, KillConn has an option to clear all NOT-LOGGED-IN connections on a server.
- But this has to be done manually, and I recall that whoever asked about clearing
- these connections wanted to do it automatically. The NLM to do this is
- NLICLEAR which is in enhance.zip on disk 1 of the 3 update disks Novell
- distributed about 6 months ago. I have not used this NLM, but here is the
- description of it.
-
- 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:
-
- A user specifies a login name after a LOGIN or ATTACH
- command, but does not enter a password to complete the
- login procedure.
-
- A user logs out without logging in elsewhere.
-
- 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.
