I have been reading the documentation about the Admin Tool - Statistics section (http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/docP ... inTool.htm), but it does not describe what exactly does each statistic number mean.

Thus, I do not understand, what is the difference between "Users" and "Sockets connected". Why is the number of users higher than sockets? Does not each user have exactly one socket assigned?

Active Threads is what?

Is there some more detailed documentation for this section?

socket connections and clients are not the same thing. Anyone can establish a connection to the server with any client (telnet for example or anything else). Only clients that pass the initial handshake and connect to a zone finally become "Users".
That's why the two numbers differ.

This one should speak by itself... it's the number of threads being used by the server.

Not for the moment. We'll try to add more details to it.

Well, that was clear to me. However, in that case, there should be always more socket connections than users, should it not? I can establish a connection, but might not authenticate to become user. But how is it possible we can see more users than sockets? I suppose it should not be possible for two users to share the same socket connection. Could you clarify, please?
