Isn't cistron's limitation (in contrast with Merit) that is requires
usernames and passwords to be in the system user password files?

Anyway, if you're happy with that, the question you need to ask your
Novell support buffs is whether there's any way to export your userlist
in plain text, with passwords in either pain text, crypted MD5 or
crypted DES.

Once you know what the exported information from the Novelle server will
look like, we can better help you figure out where to go next.

Make sure that replies are copied to the list.  I have a funeral to
attend later today, and will be quite busy this week. :-(

Ciao,
Sheldon.
