samba - Mar 2009 - Automatic & Permanent Disconnect of WinXP Clients

Hello,

I'd like to enable my Samba server, either by the correct choice of standard
configuration parameters or by custom script, to permanently log off and
disconnect WinXP clients that have been "inactive" for a specified
period of time.
>From my travels around the Web, I've seen this basic question asked by

The "deadtime" and "keepalive" parameters seem intended to
enhance Samba server performance, not permanently log off users.  The
"auto-reconnect" capabilities of WinXP clients, among other factors,
also appear to contribute to keeping Samba connections open.

Anyone know of a sure-fire solution?

Thanks.

Jon

This is a domain policy issue and has nothing to do (specifically)  with 
Samba.  Configure your ntconfig.pol file appropriately via POLEDIT.

Correct.  Disconnect != Logoff.
