Doesn't solve the problem of the database privileges, and wouldn't be able
to connect to the Novell box if it's not allowed there.

Anyway I'm now just leaving myself logged in and locking the machine and
then going in on Monday morning before the other guy gets there and logging
myself out so he can log in as himself.  I'm up by then and can do it
remotely and it was easier than spending time figuring out something
better.  I'll be glad when we don't have Novell any more.
