no longer allows logins. The error message that is presented
on the login screen is:
"AdminNamespace.java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
This information is presented in the logger screen on the
NetWare server:

Resolution
The jclnt.nlm that is included with the ftf 3 patch is dated April
2, 2007 while the one that is included with NW65SP7 is dated August
29, 2007. If the file from SP7 is copied back to the
sys:system directory on the server, iManager will run with no
errors.
