Q.
I get the following error message on my client workstation when attempting to log in to my NetWare 6 server:
Error: "NMAS Login Failed Return Code: -1644 Timed Out Recoverable"
What is causing this problem, and why do I get this error?

Dear NMASSing: Let me give you a bit of background on this situation. On workstations where the Novell Modular Authentication Services (NMAS) client is installed, the Novell Client login and authentication process can automatically make use of NMAS's capabilities. On workstations that do not have the NMAS client installed, the Novell Client will try to use NMAS functionality anyway to authenticate.
If NMAS is not available, you will get your error code, or another close to it. This problem has been reported and taken care of by the Novell Client Development Team. Clients with this fix are available, as I write this, at http://download.novell.com/filedist/PublicSearch.
