[WEB4LIB] RE: Novell login limiting

[Dennis VanArsdale]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll bounce some of these off our 
campus computer center people ASAP.
Point to make: we wish we could offer everything too.  Someday, 
when we have an ideal situation and all the workstations we could 
use, perhaps we will.  Until then, we just envy those like you and 
try to block the non-research uses.
