RE: RE: Thin Clients and TCP/IP

The extra unused sessions only hang around for a little bit before timing
out. Try it sometime and time how long it takes from another session. I'm
pretty darn sure a named device can only have one session, but, one client
*could* have more than one named device. It would just be another shortcut
on the desktop. But, if you are choking down your user to use only a named
device, well, fugettaboutit, your security is going to force this problem
and nothing you can do about it except to train the user to wait X minutes
before trying to sign on again. See sentence #2 above.
