SYMPTOMS
========

A new domain user is created and the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login is
checked. The user attempts, but is unable to log on to any File and Print
Services for NetWare (FPNW) server in the domain. If the Maintain NetWare
Compatible Login is unchecked, the user is able to log on to the domain
successfully.

One of several different error messages may appear on the users computer when
they attempt to log on to an FPNW server:

  The password or username you specified is not valid for this resource

-or-

  User has not been granted the requested logon type at this machine.

2. Choose User Rights from the Policies menu.
