Yes, NW 4.x NLIs don't use a licensed connection, but what's really
wierd is that some of them can't be deleted through monitor. Some
will, some won't. For 3.12, I used the one listed in the FAQ, the NLI
Skulker.

We're using killconn.exe from the JRB utils package. Simply type
killconn /n and it will happily kill all NLI's. Apart from that,
several other nice utilities are included with JRB.. I don't recall
at the moment where I found it, but it shouldn't be hard to come by.

Or pickup ZZCLR.ZIP from

ftp://netlab2.usu.edu/sys/anonftp/netwire/novuser/07/

Better features than NLICLEAR and you can exclude particular workstations
from being slammed, as well as setting thresholds/cycle, etc.  Selected
excerpts from the README.DOC:

   ZZClear NLM               An NetWare Enhancement from Scott Wertz

   ZZClear is a replacement for Novell's NLICLEAR.NLM that ships
   with NetWare 3.12.  NLICLEAR clears NOT-LOGGED_IN connections
   from your server after a time interval that you specify.  This
   is a nice feature, with one drawback: your users are constantly
   faced with an Abort/Retry message each time they login because
   their connection has been terminated.  Worse, if you've got a
   machine that only logs in after hours to run backups, you may
   have a problem.

   ZZClear is similar to NLICLEAR, except that it only bumps user
   connections when your server is low on free connection slots.
   This approach reduces the inconvenience to your users (and the
   number of support calls you get!).  Better yet, ZZClear accepts
   a list of node addresses that you never want bumped so that you
   can continue to run your backups as usual.

   NLICLEAR is also advertised as a solution for NetWare Runtime
   only, while ZZClear works on any 3.11 or 3.12 server.

   NOTE: 3.11 servers may report that connections are being cleared,
   but no connections are ever cleared.  This is an indication that
   you need to upgrade your NIC driver and/or CLIB.NLM.

<snip>

   A sample CFG file is included in the package for your convenience;
   just modify the entries there, or delete it if you're satisfied
   with the defaults.  When you load the NLM, it will echo your settings
   to the screen.  If the settings don't match what you thought you
   set, then either your CFG file has a typo, or it's not in the same
   directory as ZZCLEAR.NLM.

Novell has written an NLM called NLICLEAR, this will remove all connections
marked as "NOT-LOGGED-IN" after a defined period of time.  You can find it
at ftp.novell.com or netlab2.usu.edu.

[Floyd: Warning: NLICLEAR seems to lack documentation]
