Login Requires a Server Name for Trees Not Registered with DNS

If you are logging in to a tree that does not have a registered DNS name, you must enter the server
name in the Server field to log in.

PAUSE Command in Login Script

When using login scripts that contain a PAUSE command, the Close button activates when the
script is paused. If the user closes the login script window while the login script is running but
paused, then processes are left open. To close the processes, restart the workstation.

Login Script Does not Run

There are rare occasions when the login script does not run. To solve this, log in again to rerun the
login script.

Passwords

Users Not Prompted to Change an Expired Password if it has Expired

When a user's password expires, the user is not notified during login and is not prompted to change
their password. When the grace logins have been exhausted, the user cannot login.
An administrator must update the password using Novell iManager or ConsoleOne

General Issues

FAM/iNotify Causes File Copy to Hang

During a file copy, the workstation hangs because of issues with FAM/iNotify. These issues are
not directly related to Novell Client, but happen because of the way FAM validates requests. This
means that in order to complete a file copy, you must remove the FAM service.
To remove a service from a runlevel, you must either delete the symbolic links manually from the
folder with all the scripts for the desired runlevel, or run the following command:
insserv -r fam
This command removes the service from all runlevels.

Invalid Connections Displayed

Occasionally, non-authenticated (invalid) connections are erroneously displayed in the /var/opt/
novell/nclmnt directory. When the server name is displayed along with the volumes and files, this
indicates an authenticated (valid) connection.
