Is the file server on which the home folders reside configured to disconnect users after a certain idle period?

How long are we talking here and define what you mean a bit more clearly.


10.3 workstations are going to drop the AFP connections when they can and use the auto-reconnect feature. IIRC, that has a 48 hour threshold on it until it won't reconnect.

But if it's shaking it's head at you then that's not it. What do your logs say, if that is what it's doing. Can you login as a local admin and then id a user in the terminal or use dscl to walk the DS tree?
