Problem:

Many users connect to XDB Servers on remote machines using TCP/IP and can stop and restart these servers.  This can cause issues where multiple users are accessing a single server.

Resolution:

With this set in the Server section of the XDB.INI, the server will only heed a shutdown request sent by a process on the same machine as the server.  Remote machines will not be able to shut down the server.
