Updated Software
This month, the Novell Clients have been updated. The Novell Client workstation software extends the capabilities of Linux and Windows desktops by providing access to NetWare and Open Enterprise Server (OES). Once installed on workstations, Novell Clients enable users to enjoy the full range of Novell services such as authentication via Novell eDirectory, network browsing and service resolution, and secure and reliable file system access—all delivered through industry-standard protocols. The Client supports Novell's traditional NCP protocol.
As many of you are GroupWise users, then you probably are already aware that the Hot Patch for GroupWise 8.0 has been released. The Hot Patch contains security fixes in the Windows Client, Web access and GWIA components.
