Does this feature *really* work in Novell 3.X??  We've been running 3.10a for
several months now, and the Workgroup Management aspects of the network fail to
function *at all*.  Needless to say, this has been moderately annoying, and I
had all but given up on it.  

Have you been able to get this to work for you?  If so, what version of
Netware, server configuration, etc., have you been using?  If this really
*does* work, I'd very much like to get it up on our system.

I agree that it could be one of the most useful.  Keeps me from having to be a
SUPERVISOR equivalent when using the system.  :)

If anyone has information regarding the Workgroup Management situation, please
EMail me.  I'm dying to get over this hurdle.
