Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 481)

Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8 481
Idle logout occurs when there is no user activity (such as typing or using the mouse) for a
specified period of time. For example, suppose you enable idle logout after 15 minutes. A
user logs in, works for a while, and then decides to leave the computer and go have a snack,
but doesn’t log out. After 15 minutes, the user returns and must enter a user name and
password again to gain access.
To enable idle logout:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers, and then click Control.
2 Select a computer list, then select “Enable idle log-out” and enter the number of minutes the
computer should wait.
3 Choose a logout option.
If you select “Log user out,” users see a dialog box after idle logout and have the opportunity
to save any unsaved documents, and then they return to the login screen.
If you select “Lock the screen,” the screen goes black and a dialog box appears. Users can
save any unsaved documents, and then they can either enter a password and continue
working or log out.
4 Click Save.
If this feature has been activated and the computer is connected to the network, you can use
a Mac OS X Server administrator password to log in.
Allowing Access to All CDs and DVDs
Using computer security settings, you can allow user access to CDs and DVDs with no
restrictions.
To allow access to any CD or DVD:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Access all CD-ROMs” and click Save.
4 Select “Show a panel for inserted CD-ROMs” to make it easy for Panels workgroups to find
inserted CDs.
Allowing Access to Specific CDs or DVDs
You can restrict user access to CDs and DVDs by using a list of approved discs. You can also
allow users to access only certain files on a CD or DVD.
First, create the list of approved discs and items, and then allow user access to the discs.
