SYSLOGINS not removing crashed sessions (Networking Products)

We've got a rather frustrating problem at a client site where their SYSLOGIN entries are not removed when someones OI3.7 session crashes.
The session sits there (taking up a licence) even after the user has restarted and logged back into the network and is only cleared when the service itself is restarted.
The workstations are all Windows NT and the server Windows 2000 with the 2.1 service (on default settings).

Chris,
We've seen this problem as well. Our recommendation is to create a routine that validates all of the SYSLOGINS entries whenever someone logs in and possibly when they log out as well. A valid SYSLOGINS record has a lock on the record so you can easily loop through each one testing for a lock. If there is no lock then it is a bogus entry and you can delete it immediately. This has resolved our problems.
