Remote desktop not releasing session

Hi,

We have an XP machine set up with software that has a single license
(actually we have several, but most are fine).  The machine is not
accessible to users, they have to use Remote Desktop to get to it.  Hey -
it's cheaper than license managing software, and mac and unix folk can get
to it to.

One one particular machine, the remote desktop session won't release after
the user has logged out - anyone trying to access the machine gets "you do
not have permission to access that session".  Admin users can log in no
problems - no warnings "xxx is logged", nothing, but again after they log
out, unprivileged users still can't access the remote machine.

The machine requires to be rebooted before other folk can access it, which
given that there is no "restart" option when you log out from RDC means I
have to actually earn my keep and restart it myself - the horror....and it
means that folk working out of hours send me a pile of peevish e-mails I
have to attend to in the morning....more horror...

Any vague ideas of where I should be looking at to fix this wee niggle?

Many thanks

Eddie
