[WEB4LIB] Novell login limiting

[Luis Domingues]

I think TWEAK UI can manage that. Don't know if you're using Novell's client
or Microsoft client for Netware. TWEAK UI is in the Win98 CD at
/tool/reskit/ somewhere... You should install it from the INF file.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Novell login limiting

We are a Novell campus, and have the Novell Login (v.3.02 (2.0))
on our public-use workstations.  Workstations use Win95 and
Win98.  No WinNT allowed at this time.

While we have a standard login name and password for our users
to access our catalog and databases in the library, a number of
students deliberately reboot the workstations in an attempt to login
with their own names so they can reach network services available
elsewhere on campus (email, word processing, etc.) under their
own logins.  This messes up the workstation for all subsequent
users and often locks it up completely.
It doesn't matter if they succeed, either -- they keep trying anyway.
Signs, of course, are useless.

We have WinSelect, but it cannot do anything about a login that
occurs so early in the boot procedure.

I would like to lock in the name and login, or -- better yet --
automate the login process so users never even see a login prompt.

Any suggestions that would work under these conditions, or
perhaps add-on software that could automate or lock the login?
As stated: no, we can't switch to NT at this time.
