[comp.sys.novell] Work Group Managers can't create user accounts

mcginnis@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (01/23/91)

Thank you who replied for your efforts.  I will try one
more time to get help on this problem from either Novell
or someone who has figured out a way around it.

The problem is, work group managers (WGMs) cannot
successfully create users.  Now, when we tey, the account is
created, but no user home directory is created.  In
fact, SYSCON doesn't even ask if one should be
created (verify directory creation (y/n))... it
just errors out.

You all know why I don't want to call Novell Tech. Supp.;
they charge the same hourly rate as brain surgeons and
they won't be able to fix the problem anyway.

Sorry if I'm flaming a bit.

And in the case of Netware 386, you spend your $8000 to get the bare product
and then have to pay Novell tell them about the bugs you've found.  A great
way to test your product and make lots of money at the same time.  Now if
only I could manage to get people to fall for such a deal...
