Mutiple Connections 1

[paulovey]

Hi I hope someone can help.

I have a site using Novell 4.2 service pack 6a, with a 40 user licence.

When a user logs in it shows up in monitor screen / connection info as two live connections, in that the user has two entries in the list, when you go in to one of these it shows they have open files, and the other does not show any open files at all, and you can end the session with no open files and the user can continue to work, without any problems.

To try to solve this the other day I restricted all users to have only 1 concurrent login, but then no one could login at all!!!

The funny thing is it still allows 40 uses to login, just that it shows 80 connections in the monitor screen.

Has anyone seen this before.

TIA

Paul

One of the connections will have an asterik next to it, the other will not. One is just for authentication (asterik) and does not count against the licenses. There are probably a bunch of these for the server itself that don't relate to a specific user and then one for each user.
