Bill,

There are some differences in our environment. We use SBClient to access
UD running on AIX. All of our users usually log in through the same PC
every day although their DHCP provided IP addresses will change. Our
device licensing isn't configured through the terminal software but
instead through the .profile in the user's home directory.

Our problem was that we were seeing stale IP addresses with the AIX
listuser command as well as in the SB+ USER.ID file. This was causing
some messaging services to fail.

I've contacted the programmer who wrote this to see if he thinks his
code would solve your problem as well.

HTH
