       functionality for NDS and PNW             and/or

       environments; this feature                PNW.VLM

       reconnects and reauthenticates

       a client to a server/workgroup

       and rebuilds the client's

       environment (excluding file

       specific items) to its state

       before connection loss.

 OFF = When an NDS or PNW connection

       is lost, the process of

       reconnecting to the server

       /workgroup and rebuilding the

       environment is not automated.

 Note:  You can also auto reconnect

 bindery-based connections by

 specifying BIND RECONNECT = ON and

       printer redirections.

 ON =  AUTO.VLM stores bindery

       connection information

       necessary to auto reconnect a

       bindery connection.

 Note:  For this parameter to work, you

 must also set AUTO RECONNECT = ON.

------------------------------------------------------------

*AUTO RETRY = 0                        0  3640   AUTO.VLM

 Number of seconds AUTO.VLM waits                NDS.VLM

 before attempting a retry after                 and/or

 receiving a network critical error.             PNW.VLM

 Note:  When this parameter is 0,                and/or

 AUTO.VLM makes no retry attempts.               BIND.VLM

------------------------------------------------------------

*AUTO LARGE TABLE = OFF                -- --     AUTO.VLM

 OFF = AUTO.VLM allocates a small table          and

       (34 bytes per connection) for             BIND.VLM

       bindery reconnects.

 ON =  AUTO.VLM allocates a large

       connection table (178 bytes

       per connection) for bindery

       reconnects. If usernames or

       passwords are larger than

       16 characters, set this

       parameter to ON. Otherwise,

       users with a password or

       username larger than 16 bytes

       cannot auto reconnect.

 Note:  For this parameter to work, you

 must also set BIND RECONNECT = ON.
