Specifications

Although the server disconnects sleeping clients, the clients’ sessions are maintained
for the specied period. When a user resumes work within that time, the client is
reconnected with no apparent interruption.
6 To specify the idle time limit, select “Disconnect idle users after __ minutes” and enter
the number of minutes after which an idle computer should be disconnected.
A sleeping Mac OS X v10.2 (or later) client can resume work on open les within the
limits of the “Allow clients to sleep” setting.
7 To prevent types of users from being disconnected, select them under “Except.”
8 In the “Disconnect Message” eld, enter the message you want users to see when they
are disconnected.
If you don’t enter a message, a default message appears stating that the user has been
disconnected because the connection has been idle.
