This is with Zenworks right?  Is it another windows username box or a
Zenworks box?  Do you have a DLU policy set?

Subject: [tech-geeks] Novell 10 - s econd login problem

Ok Novell gurus

I recently went to Novell 10 and things seemed to be going pretty well.  Two

weeks ago I started getting calls from my Grade school staff saying that 
some systems are popping up a "second Novell login box" and they were 
wanting to know why.  When I fianlly saw one of these boxes it looks like 
the box one gets when a connection has been severed from the network and 
then re-established.  It is a login box from the Novell client with the user

name "system" in the user box.  I have told my people to re-enter THEIR user

name and password and go on.  It seems to be working for the most part.

Now - I have 2 new servers and I am only seeing this on the grade school 
server.  Also I have some windows 98 boxes on that server that have never 
seen this second popup box and some XP boxes in the lab that have not see it

either.

The only difference I can see is that the grade school server had a few 
updates installed that the high school server did not.  The grade school 
server updated the iPrint client, and that is what I suspect is at the heart

of the issue.  The gradeschool boxes are getting popups saying there is a 
new version of the iPrint client available and the computers that are not 
getting that second login box have not seen the "new iPrint client" popup as

far as I know.

I have played with uninstalling NMAS (Since we do not use it) and some 
settings, but still no clear cut solution.  Some of the things I have tried 
seemed to slow it down, but not get rid of it.  Some users will go a day or 
2 and not see the extra popup.

I am also stepping through the updates on the high school server - a few 
ebery few days to see if I can isolate what sets this off.  (My guess is it 
will be iPrint - but not sure why.)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
