I am currently running Netware 5.0, and want to know of any utilities that would logout users after a certain period of inactivity.

There probably are such utilities, but be careful -- the machine may still have files open on the server, and the risk is corruption.

Hi,

Are you talking about clearing logged in users after a certain period of inactivity, because if you do NetWare 5 comes with a SET utility called "Watchdog"... You can set the amount of time of inactivity from a connection until it is dropped...

Hope this helps.

By inactivity I mean the user has went home and left his computer logged in. Maybe I'm rong but I think watchdog works when a node might have a broken cable or network interface board, or a user might have shut off the node without logging out first. If the user is still logged on and then the node still would be able to respond to a watchdog packet provided one of the previous has not occured.
