I have a client running D3 ver 7.4.4 on Windows 2000 server. Every so often
the server slows down and the client gets a "too many users" message when
someone tries to log in. It's only a 5 license account, so it's easy for
them to use the licenses up if they get hung up.

I added a clean log out routine to their menu to insure that they weren't
just shutting down their terminal emulation screens without logging out.
Still, about every two weeks, the system slows and they get the "too many
users" message. My theory is that the process left out there by the logins
not being terminated are eating up process memory, slowing the machine.

Has anyone run into anything like this? Any ideas on a fix?

TIA

Try adding a TIMEOUT to their login proc. After, say, an hour of
inactivity, have the session log out. That may help.

Another option is to add "trap dcd exit" to user-coldstart, then make
sure dcd is enabled on every user's port, either by starting d3 with
the -dcdon option, or by adding dcd-on to every user's logon proc.
