we just installed a Shiva Lanrover on our Novell 4.1 IPX LAN - 

In playing with it - I've noticed a couple of things....
one of them is a security issue - with no resolution as far as I can tell..

When I dial into the Shiva - and login - (server, NDS, etc)
and then just disconnect....  
I don't get logged out of NDS nor the Server - 
	(like pulling the 10BT cable for a few seconds)
However - this is a MAJOR loophole - for a dialup access server - 
ANY user dialing into that same port - will already be logged in with my ID!!
How have others addressed this issue - ?
Phil -
