that's sort of like saying 'I can see the server, but without a valid username/password, I can't log in...'

There are Novell-specific would let you interact with the system bindery, but they're privileged as well. Without the necessary permissions on the target server, they don't do you much good. In order to get around that, we need a mechanism to publish the needed information without the calls to the bindery; the approach I advocated, using a shared login table, is one approach that would allow users who can acquire in the table the ability to make the determination of who might be using the .EXE; the problems are that (1) if you don't have the necessary permissions and privileges, you can't get at the table, and (2) it isn't as bulletproof as the bindery interaction, since acquisition and release of locks can be dealyeda good deal, and relies on the active cooperation of the application to make good information available.
