Permanent reservations ?

Hello,

How do you setup reservations so that they never end, until the user decides to end them ?

I have setup an image that does not check the the user login, and I increased the reservation time to 8640 minutes (6 days) for just a certain group.
How do I setup a group that has never ending reservations ?

Thanks,

"never end" - well, sometime before "never" there will be a hardware
failure, or whatever - and that will have to be dealt with.

What I find that works for me for an indefinite reservation is to make
it for 1 year.  It's easy to Delete it when I'm done, or to extend it,
if needed.  (Hmm - I've never had to extend one yet.)

There is a user group named "Specify End Time".  Adding users to this group 
will allow them to manually set the end time of the reservation to anything.
