I'm with Buddy on this one. It's been ages (pre-7.6) since I've worried about
what the cfg file "user" is. To me it's one of the most freeing things about
the
newer versions of RBase -- that we no longer have to worry about having unique
user names in a cfg file. RBTI uses individual licensing to know who is
connected
to the database, it no longer counts unique "user" connections nor bumps off a
user with a duplicate cfg name like back in 6.5 days. I've changed all
converted apps
to use CVAL('NetUser') to know who's connected, not CVAL('user'). As a matter
of fact, I don't think I've touched a cfg file since 6.5 days.... My startup
file has all
the global settings, and if there's individual settings it's kept in a table by
NetUser.

I wouldn't use the USER from the cfg file. I find it to be unreliable
because if one cannot be found R:Base will create one and now you may have
another USER. Your best bet would be to use (CVAL('NETUSER')). This would
give you the individual logged into the PC.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Multi user and Config Name User
We have several questions related to our compiled database (RBaseX
Enterprise). RbaseX.dat is the file used to build ElmCityDatabase.exe. The
Rbase engine is embedded along with one theme (Longhorn) used for messages.
RBengine.cfg is on the server where the exe is located. The current config
file has an item called Name : USER 20151129130838. How is this user ID
used? If four users get on our system through the exe on the server, they
would all use that config file which has that USER ID. Does this user ID
apply the same to all of the users so that user ID is used four times? Or
are each user tracked through other means like the User Privileges section?
I have not used the Privileges at all, which can explain some problems we
have had with unannounced shutdowns. The database is simply great in single
user. In multi it works well, but I keep finding little tweaks I missed.
This is just the next item that has come up. Thanks.
