I was referring to the "old" DOS version, 4.5++  (and before) which is the
last one I used and used the server.sys (server5.sys?) file that was
normally stored in a separate directory (in the path) and kept track of the
number of users to the maximum allowed by the user packs(license). Many
times I used the RBADMIN utility to log out inactive users to allow other to
login. I am not familiar with the server6.rbg as the next version of DOS I
used is 6.5, which did away with this system of keeping track of users all
together.

RBADMIN removed names from the server6.rbg file, but it didn't
decrement the counter, which actually lives in the *.rb1 file.  The counts
being too high when people's R:Base sessions were closed abnormally
still occurs in versions that no longer have a server6.rbg file.

In the old days and in the current versions, when the last user
disconnects, R:Base will set the count back to zero.
