One of us says that he has even contacted 'SCO' saying there is nothing that can be done about this at the present time. All three of us have had to request that no one dis- connect from 'VP/ix'; that they come out of 'VP/ix' and then "logout". Because so many would *not* listen to our requests, we had to change permissions on 'VP/ix' to make it inaccessable to our dial-in users. Unfortunately, that's the only cure that the three of us could come up with until this "bug" is fixed by 'SCO'. Regards.... Steve Walick -- Stephen J.
