Actually, I run NT 4 PDC with a Novell 4.x. I have the Novell client
installed on the users WKS and the domain for NT is setup for login, the
Novell client will logon in the background if the user name ans password
for the NT and Novell boxes are identical. Novell's spalsh screen will
show (on the bottom under the line: 'Client32 has detected a network
event that will allow it to logon in the background.' or something to
that effect.

Just a word of caution, you may want some folks to have a double login
with separate passwords to protect some datra from prying eyes (in case
some one hacks the admin account on the NT box for instance, you
wouldn't want the Administrator's account for the NT box to have the
same passowrd or even the same username as the Novell box.)
