Help! I have a problem. I need to be able to set the machine name of a
workstation existing on a Novell Network, from a program written in C. This is
for a network aware program with a licence limit, that wants the user specified
with the "MACHINE NAME = 'name'" in the login script. As we have more
workstations that licenses and way way more users than that, I need to be able
to set the name to one that isn't being used at the time. Any Ideas? I can't
find any reference to it in the Netware API's, but the Netware manuals say that
it sets the NetBIOS machine name of the station to a specified name. 

Thanks in advance.
