When the directory is changed, the configuration of an already logged on user is not changed. The directory is used to configure the virtual machine at logon time. Any directory update is reflected in the machine configuration the next time a user logs on. There is a way to make the disk(s) available to a logged on user. You can link to disk from the logon console (e.g. LINK * 999 999 MR). Alternatively, you can do the same thing from a class C user via SEND CP (send cp userid link * 999 999 MR)
If JOEUSER is logged on, all an XAUTOLOG JOEUSER will accomplish is to generate an error message to the one who entered the command. It does not take the user down. You can do that by use of the FORCE command. After forcing the user, XAUTOLOG will work and the new directory definitions will be in effect. Any logged on user who has a link to a disk will keep that link until either it is detached by/from the user or the user logs off. The "disconnected" refers to whether there is a console associated with the user. A disconnected user is logged on, but has no console. It does have all of the other resources defined in the directory or acquired after logon. DSC is an abbreviation of Disconnected.

In reading Davids answer it looks as if I need to log the instance off an= d on. If I do a xautolog won't that take the the instance down? And if I do an autolog won't it show the instance already logged on? My other instances show -dsc also but still show the link. OH brother am I confused. thanks Mace
