Patti,
What you don't say is how many clients. I have a customer running RHEL3 and
7.3.1 and it is not production quality.
We cannot get a group of over 180 clients to run sucessfully
Every time we restart it, we have to kill nsrmmgd (it restarts) so the
library works
We've had to have debug versions of code for it to work (Stripped versions
fail)
I'd not recommend it on Linux at all
On Windows, in a small environment, I've had some success.
The company I work for doe snot recommend it to any of our customers.
