You are re****ting seeing a message in the Event log.

If your Macs themselves suddenly receive a message indicating something to
the effect of "The File Server has unexpectedly shut down" then you have a
legitimate problem.

However, if your only evidence is this message, you'll never get it
resolved. Your users may be shutting down their Macs without disconnecting
first from the server or they may really be cra****ng. Most likely it's a
combination of these.

If you read it closer, the order of events is 1.) The session times out
and
then 2.) The server disconnects the session. The server is disconnecting a
dead session and just letting you know about it.

The server re****ts this as an error only because a Mac didn't say
"good-bye"
before it left the network (leaving an open session behind to time out).

This event is in no way indicating that the server is chopping off an
active
session.

Hope this helps! bill
