OT: Question about Novell

[Brian Kelsay]

I know this is way off topic, but I don't know anybody who uses Novell. 
  I did install services for NFS so that is relevent and Novell just 
purchased Ximian so that makes them sorta relevent. Novell has services 
that will run on Linux so that makes them relevent also.  ANYWAYS.

I just installed a Novell 6 demo from a free download so I could learn 
something about it.  Well I finally got it installed after some 
problems, but now I can't log in to it remotely from Windows or from the 
Console One app.  I keep getting a message about "the object named could 
not be found in the context specified" error -601.  NDS acts basically 
like an LDAP server and I have read stuff about that, but do I have to 
put CN=admin.OU=myou.O=organization in the context?  I did type the 
admin users context in exactly as I wrote it down when I created the NDS 
tree.  It just doesn't take.  It's not like when you log in as root, you 
don't have to give the FQDN of the machine you are on.  This is driving 
my crazy.

Anyway Console One is a java-based app that runs on the server in this 
case.  You can run it remotely I think, but I can't connect to the 
server remotely at all yet.

I'm messing w/ this to learn and for a job I'm trying to get.  It can't 
hurt.
