Dear Colleagues, In the process of testing mail clients for s/mime compatibility I am trying to install Novell NetMail on our linux test box running RedHat 8.0. I have no previous knowledge at all about this product. I have tried several times to install it and can never get past a window asking for the Administrator user name and password. I have included the log of what I did below. Any help from users of this mail client would be very much appreciated. Regards Denis Walker RIPE NCC Software Engineering Department.
