System: NT 4.0 Server/Win 98 Workstations

Question: I would like to have workstations setup so that a user must login to the nt server to have access to the local workstation and, also have it setup to automatically log off the nt server (and workstation) after so-many minutes of inactivity. I know there are some third party apps that do this, but if it can be done easily using existing NT/98 functionality, I would rather go that route.

Thanks

Go the 3rd party route if you know of a product. The FAT16 or even FAT32 file systems do not support file level security so you cannot keep people off the local drives. Inactivlty timeouts are not supported natively to my knowledge either.
