SYMPTOM

The attribute called network address is added automatically when a user logs
in.  This attribute is suppose to be dynamic.  In other words, the values are
suppose to come and go as the user log in and out of the network.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you look at attribute network address in NetAdmin or NWAdmin, you will be
able to see the station addresses that the user has logged in from.  Because
of the bug, it will be more than just the current logins, it will be the
addresses of all the different stations that user has logged in from.

CAUSE

There is a bug where these connections are not cleared out when the user logs
out.

This does not pose a problem for most users except when a user has bee limited
on the number of concurrent connections that he may have and that user is
logging into the 4.x network from various physical stations.

SOLUTION

Unless the user is constantly moving around to different stations, you can fix
the occasional user who has a problem by clearing out the network address
attribute.  The attribute will automatically come back the next time the user
logs into the network.

Otherwise, apply REMADDR.EXE
