This has been an issue with the MultiUser system Mac Administrator and other MacOS versions. We use the Novell servers to authenticate our user logins with it. When one user logs out and another logs in the first users setting stay. The only way to get the user logged out is to choose "Logout Completely" from the Novell menu.

The workaround is simple enough, just make sure you log out of NDS and THEN out of MacOS. An alternative would be to simply restart the Mac instead of logging out. I tested this on an iMac running MacOS 9 and the ProSoft client (version 5.12). I have not tested it on the Novell client (version 5.11), but since the clients are so similar I would assume the "bug" exists there too. (I don't consider this to be a full-blown bug since we're dealing with a new feature of the OS that didn't exist at the time the client was released. However, given the breathtaking speed that ProSoft moves at...)
