<DIV></DIV>Hi Russell,<BR><BR>We run a pretty similar setup here at Westall, but
I'm interested in how you manage the Mac authentication into Novell. A few staff
have macbook laptops and so far we have been using windows virtual machines to
do the Novell integration, anything easier would have a strong ease of use
bonus. <BR><BR>I understand Swinburne are also pretty heavily into Novell and
Groupwise, I'm wondering how you'd respond to allowing a site visit to have a
look over your setup and possibly seeing if we can arrange any mutual technology
collaboration. <BR><BR>Daniel Stefyn<BR><BR>

similar here Keith. We have Novell, Windows, and Linux
servers. All authentication done via Novell; email on Groupwise,
but use Linux for Moodle, Squid, Sarg, CUPS, PaperCut (to manage printing and
web credits - works a treat). And we are starting to deploy Mac
workstations (laptops and desktop systems) that authenticate into
Novell. Have also started using VMserver after using VMworkstation
for a couple of years.

11:39 am >>><BR>Same here Keith, we run a hybrid network that happily
supports Novell, <BR>Windows and Linux servers and a mix of workstations.
Authentication by<BR>Novell, application distribution and reimaging by
Zenworks, print charging<BR>with pcounter, some dedicated applications on a
Windows server (bibliotech, <BR>markbook etc), Linux (mail / moodle / drupal /
sarg / squid / squidguard<BR>etc). I took some cues from Monash and Swinburne

give some thought now towards virtualising and migrating all your<BR>your
network servers using VMWare technology. No reason you cannot run all
<BR>these happily together on the one or two physical servers. Once done,
you<BR>can step back and reexamine your network services once hardware is
removed<BR>from the equation and the focus is put back onto services. :-)
