Great!
At least that give me a place to start looking as I have ran
out of ideas.
Thanks!

When you attempt a login at a thin client, ldm (the thin
client display
manager) attempts an ssh connection to the server. I'm not
hugely
knowledgeable about pam but I'd say you need to convince ssh
to
authenticate using the netware server, presumably by
doctoring
/etc/pam.d/ssh. As soon as you find you can ssh into the
server (from
anywhere) and be authenticated via netware, you should be
able to login at
the thin clients (presuming home dirs, etc. are in place for
that user).
