- I am interested in knowing more about the NetWare encryption you desire for
- the Macintosh workstation. Currently, we provide the encryption of
- passowords through the NetWare User Authentication Method (UAM). Are you
- familiar with this feature? If you are speaking of file or data
- encryption, let me know what your specific requests are. As far as login
- scription capabilities, there is a third party product available called
- MacLogin Script from Wholly Mac Software. The Macintosh based application
- reads NetWare login scripts and more. Their telephone number is
- 702-878-3316.
