We have seen one-half the problem. There is a known-to-IBM problem, in
unloading the dsmc.nlm, if it is in session with the adsm server.
The console will hang in this case. To prevent this problem,
IBM says that one should use an adsm admin session to
cancel the session then unload the nlm.

Our Novell support person (I am on the server end and not the novell end)
says that on Novell 4 we get the console hang with the unload of the
dsmc.nlm even if it is not in session. He does not see the problem
with Novell 3.
