 Login State displays whether users are allowed to log in to the server. To
disable users from being able to log in to the server (for server
maintenance or other reasons), enter DISABLE LOGIN at the System
Console prompt. To allow users to log in to the server, enter ENABLE
LOGIN at the System Console prompt.
The table under the Connections heading on the Connection Information page
displays the following information about connections:
 Station displays the connection number for each connection. Connection
0 is the connection used by the server. The server's operating system uses
connection numbers to control each station's communication with other
stations. Remote Manager does not distinguish connections that don’t
count against the server’s connection limit.
 Name displays the name of the user, server, service, or login status and
links to specific information about that user connection such as the login
time, connection number, network address, login status, and files in use.
 Clear Connection link is displayed next to the connection name link for
any connection that can be cleared.
Clearing All Not-Logged-In Connections
To clear all user connections that are open but not currently authenticated to
the server, click the Clear All “Not Logged In” Connections link on the
Connection Information page. The connections cleared can be NLM- or user-
based.
You should be careful 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 backup process. These types of NLM connections will
not be able to re-establish a connection to the server unless the NLM is
manually unloaded and reloaded at the server console, which might prevent it
from functioning properly at the designated time of execution.
If a user reboots a workstation without properly logging out, the server sends
a watchdog packet to that workstation to see if it is still communicating with
the server. The server continues to send watchdog packets until the
workstation logs in again and re-establishes its connection with the server, or
until the watchdog drops the connection because of the lack of response from
the workstation.
