Which client are they running (Novell or windows)? Do they share the same login for windows and novell? Some do, some don't. Check for a Novell Username. You can also check for it in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (also NWUSERNAME). Also, there is a netware API you can call and if it fails, no netware.

Some clients use the login variable:

PUBLIC logname
IF VARTYPE(logname)<>"C" .or. LEN(ALLTRIM(logname))<6
        *this.logname is property of application object
        *if you do not have a property just store it to a variable
	this.logname=GETENV('LOGIN')  && Novell login name
	logname=this.logname
ENDIF
IF LEN(ALLTRIM(logname))<6
	store "UNKNOWN" TO logname
ENDIF

but more reliable is NWUSERNAME (Novell adds that environment variable during installation of the client):

PUBLIC logname
IF VARTYPE(logname)<>"C" .or. LEN(ALLTRIM(logname))<6
        *this.logname is property of application object
        *if you do not have a property just store it to a variable
	this.logname=GETENV('NWUSERNAME')  && Novell login name
	logname=this.logname
ENDIF
IF LEN(ALLTRIM(logname))<6
	store "UNKNOWN" TO logname
ENDIF

Also, some windows api work fine. For example, Zenworks application launcher calls a windows api to get the process list. It depends on where the processing is done and which api you are calling.
