Is there anyway to set PCs on a Novell login to automatically log onto the network?

You can try this third party login software which claims to do automatic login better than Novell's solution: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/GvL/

It's not Novell, but it's the best I can do right now. BTW, those custom login dialog boxes this software offers are smokin'!

Nice but unfortuantly all that software seems to be out of date!

Well it took me long enough, but I finally found the TID you are looking for. This will tell you how to bypass the GUI login:

SECURITY NOTE:
Administrators should realize that this method of logging in creates a potential security hole.
Novell does not recommend that this functionality be used, but has provided this functionality based upon customer input.
