You know that is a pretty standard feature of Novell's monitor.nlm.  That is you can look
at what connections are active, and then if you like close that connection.  Is this what
he is asking about?  If it is, though may not be included in your implementation of
Netware, it should be considered as one to implement.  Essentially, this feature is used
to force users off the system selectively.  Its not nice, nor clean but it works.
