[THIN] Re: Novell Integration

This is a NetWare 5.1 server, with, I assume Zenworks 2.  Im not 100% sure, 
though.  Most of the workstations are Pentium I and II machines running Windows 
95 and are logging into the NetWare tree only.  I only introduced the 2000 
domain for Citrix.

Quoting Bill Conwell <wconwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
