Thanks for the key, I'll check it out. (RTFM, huh? <g>)
But the screen saver idea (I've just thought of it) doesn't actually help,
since the server MUST be left logged in while connected to the internet. Not
only is it perfectly feasible to be connected for 30 minutes or whatever at
a time, but every weekend, we log on for 48 hours. (We have a special from
our telecommunications provider here which allows one to stay connected over
weekends for as long as you like for R7. (As an indication, and just for
interest of anyone who cares, :) it would normally cost R288 to stay on for
that length of time))

There is a screen saver (winexit.scr) in the nt 4 resource kit for this
purpose. Set it to activate like a normal screen saver, then it will inform
the user with a time out to cancel.
It will work on wks/srv and I have tested it on w2k pro not server.

Subject: Logging off NT
Hi, all
I have a question for the developers. It's very iffy, but here goes...
I have given my dad vnc viewer and the vnc session password, and taught him
how to log into our home NT 5 server. He needs to do this so that he can
dial out to the internet when I am away/sleeping/whatever. However, try as I
might, I can not get him to understand this concept of vnc being only a
window into the box, and that he needs to log off the machine himself when
he is finished. There is not a day goes by that I don't have a whine at him
for leaving the server logged on, and he says something like "But I shut
down my machine!", "But I closed the vnc viewer window!" and the like.
Do you think it would be practical to write into the Win32 version of the
server that (optionally, administrator-configurable) when the viewer session
is terminated, it logs off the machine? And if so, would anybody be able to
implement this?
Cheers
Graham
... Eww, that's so icky and slashdotty and... linuxy.
