Novell 3.12 console lets you see which files each user has open at any time (and of course you can force them to close). This is not exactly the same as 'seeing' their work in a remote control situation. For that, you could install pcAnywhere and practically look over the user's shoulder while you are in another room, or another country.
The Frye Utilities expanded upon Novell's console to let you print reports as well as view such useful info as last logon, files and space in use by any user, etc.
Since I no longer have the Novell server, I cannot test it now.
