The Server file is still used up through version 6.5. Version 6.5 and ++ versions do not use a server file.
What I have found to date is that you can actually use RBAdmin.exe to "Deactivate" a user, but DON't use it to "Remove" a User. Command 2 and 3 respectively in the version issued for RBbase6.1. I have had good luck in using it this way. Jim Limburg William Cook wrote: > > If I remember correctly, RBADMIN is able to terminate a user's session.
