The great NETMBX debate seems to have surfaced. Our users don't have NETMBX
and they seem happy enough (assuming you ignore all the complaints). Ok
- so you have to do a lot of installs at system startup but this is no big
deal if you think about it. I append a copy of the file we run to install
images from SYSTARTUP a lot of which are done to sort out network problems.
From memory, when we set all this up there were one or two little things
that use user could not do, but then they were things we did not want done
anyway.
     If any of the privs given to images upset people please mail me direct
and I will fix it in private rather than tell the whole net how to get it
wrong.
