Hey !
Installing Novell GINA (nwgina.dll) is not necessary to correct logon to
Novell network and I'm not going to utilize it at all. Notice, that
after correct logon to workstation by means of original GINA (
msgina.dll) I get Novell client dialog box (like as with my own GINA)
and logon to Novell is successfull in opposite to my GINA. Question is
whether and how original GINA interracts with network provider during
logon process. Is it only in the way I described in previous e-mail or
something additional should be done.
