Disabling and Enabling Logins
Clearing a Connection That Uses Auto Reconnect
To clear all connections, enter the following at the System Console prompt:
CLEAR STATION ALL
IMPORTANT:
The CLEAR STATION ALL command clears all not-logged-in
connections including connections by NLM programs. You should be carefull in
clearing NLM-based connections because some backup NLM programs establish
a connection during the server initialization process and maintain a not-logged-in
connection to the server until it is time to log in and run the process. These type of
NLM-based connections will not be able to re-establish a connection to the server
unless the NLM is unloaded and reloaded at the server.

If you need to make repairs to the server, you can prevent users from logging
in by entering the following command at the System Console prompt:
DISABLE LOGIN
This does not affect users who are already logged in to the network. However,
a user who logs out cannot log in again until you execute ENABLE LOGIN.
To allow users to log in again, enter the following at the System Console
prompt:
ENABLE LOGIN
You can also use ENABLE LOGIN to enable a SUPERVISOR account when
it has been locked by the intruder detection function.
For more information, see
Utilities Reference.
Novell Client has automatic reconnection capabilities that make a complete
TM
restoration of the user environment after a network failure possible. Because
auto-reconnect is enabled by default, you need to prevent workstations from
reconnecting while you are trying to perform some function on the server.
Novell Client also supports file caching on the client side, which allows files
to be cached as they are read from and written to the server. With the default
settings for the Auto Reconnect Level and the File Cache Level parameters,
Novell Client will restore all files to their actual state before the workstation
connection was cleared (or the server went down).
