I have a user running Windows XP in a Novell 5 environment. While connected to the server and working, occaisionally a Novell Login Screen will pop up with the User Name input as "System".

As he is already logged in as his user name, he is hiting cancel - and is able to continue working. Any idea why this keeps popping up??

1 thought, had this happen a while back... found out it was a virus the user had inadvertanly downloaded and it was trying to get a network connection to propegate itself further on. Do a full virus scan.

good luck.

I just resolved this on a handfull of systems where I had just installed the latest client. Here is a workaround from Novell TID 10080892...
You can work around the issue by adding the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\Print\Delay Login\Delay Login=1

Create the key as a DWORD value.
