Novell login allows user to "cancel" and bypass password requirement 1

[eryctus]

Hello all,
I have win 95/98 machines running Novell for groupwise email, and a Windows peer-to-peer network. Users are able to hit the cancel button and access the local machine. Anyone know how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

This is the nature of Win95/98. Access to the local machine is unrestricted. If you absolutely need to make each machine secure, then you're going to have to set up a password in the your CMOS settings.

If the other machines on the network are the concern, you can set up a sharing password for each machine. This will keep shared files and printers secure from those who have access a local machine but don't know the passwords to access files and printers on the other machines. There's always a better way...

Sweet. Tnx TVIMAN, sometimes the obvious is easily overlooked.
Much appreciated,
