Does the server process the client utilities?

Different versions of login programs used by NetWare vary greatly. For example, if you wish to use Novell 3.12 utilities to connect to a NetWare realm service, you must turn on client encryption for that service, since the 3.12 utilities only send encrypted passwords. You do not need to turn on password encryption for clients of versions later than 3.12, however, because they can send clear-text passwords.

Syntax provides login utilities for the NetWare realm in $TNHOME/NW/sys/login. They provide similar functionality to programs used by NetWare. To turn on client encryption, use the "tnservice" command.
