First, please accept my sincere apologies for using this list for such an
extremely off-topic question.  Before I resorted to this last-hope measure,
I consulted all relevant FAQs, KBs and asked tech support at Symantec and
Novell without getting any reply.  I've been lurking on the IMail Forum list
for several months, enough to know that this list is monitored by some of
the most knowledgeable admins I've ever "met", that many of you are using
the software described below, and that you are very helpful, even to people
who post OT messages.

I am a mail admin but also a netadmin (NetWare 4.11) and I've run into
problems after installing Symantec's pcAnywhere 9.2 on a machine running
Windows 2000 Professional and the NetWare client for NT (version 4.71).

The first problem I encountered is that this install reversed the order of
the logon prompts, i.e. W2K *before* NetWare. The NW client appearance also
changed and did not display a "Workstation only" checkbox.

Moreover, I could not do Ctrl+Alt+Del locally on the W2K box and select
"Change password" *really* successfully to change the NetWare (4.11)
password.  It brought up a Windows password change dialog box -- rather than
the proper NetWare one --, which allowed me to select which password to
change: Windows or NetWare.  Selecting NetWare resulted in a message saying
that it had been successfully changed, which wasn't the case.

Worst of all, none of my NetWare users who have pcAnywhere 9.2 installed get
notified that their password has expired!  They run out of grace logins
without knowing it and their accounts eventually are disabled.

Had to reinstall the NetWare client which fixed the NetWare side of things.
But now, I can't send Ctrl+Alt+Del using PCA to the W2K Host and if I start
a File Transfer session from the Remote, the windows starts but disappears
right afterwards.

I read Symantec's technical note about "File transfer window appears then
disappears or you cannot send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the host" and changed the
registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL

from: NWGINA.DLL
to: AWGINA.DLL

Now, File Transfer and sending Ctrl+Alt+Del work, but I'm back to square one
(NetWare is broken).  It seems as though I must have either NetWare or PCA
working properly but not both.

I believe that if AWGINA.DLL would chain to NWGINA.DLL -- rather than
MSGINA.DLL as I *think* is what's happening --, all would be well.  (But
then, this is a guess.)  How should I go about changing the order in which
GINAs are chained?  Or am I all wet and the solution resides elsewhere?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and for not flaming me!
