User mapped drives not disconnecting

My server is a 4.11 SP9, my clients are W98se with 3.21, I tried 3.30 but due to the massive wm95sast problem have reverted to 3.21. The problem is that when my users are logging on and eventually logging off the next user with a different username logs on and SOMETIMES gets his mapped drive and the last persons mapped drive, so in the course of a day he could have access to several areas including my own if I had logged on there !! Why is this and what can I do ??

do you log off? sounds like the next user on the PC just hits the netware login and doesn't clear current connections.
not only that but you might want to check the scripts tab on the login screen and make sure "run scripts" is checked, if its not checked nobody is mapping nuthin'

The users log off, the mapped drives are created by the home directory path in Zenworks, but I will check that the current connections are being cleared, thanx

The drive mappings are assigned in ZenWorks? Try putting them in the login script. Sorry if this is a stupid ? I know that ZenWorks actually requires an additional connection to the server for each workstation. Maybe the user is logging off, but the Zen connection is staying. You can see in RconJ \Console monitor\connections
