There's supposed to be a feature in the server that allows for this. But
I've never had any luck getting it to work. I'd also be interested in
hearing about a solution.

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
