Subj : doors & disconnected users

Hi all,

quick question.  What's a good way to handle (on Synchronet) users that 
disconnect while in a door?  I've run into an issue where in Operation 
Overkill, if a user drops out whle playing the oonode.dat file doesn't 
get cleaned up.  That file being there will prevent other users from 
logging in.  Any ideas how to clean that up if someone just drops 
carrier? (well, closes their synchterm window).

One idea I had was to set it in Overkill that it's single node, then 
flag it as non-multiplayer in synchronet.  That  I think would prevent 
overkill from even creating the lockout file.  But, that could be 
'dangerous' to the game if by some chance 2 users managed to login at 
the same time.

Thanks,
--Chris
