How do I set up a Forgotten Password Policy in Netware 6.5?
We're running a small single-server Novell Network, currently V.6.5 SP4. I recently upgraded the clients from V.4.91 SP1 to SP3, and on the login dialogue box there now apperas a 'Did you forget your password' link. Clicking on this just produces an error message: "Unable to read Forgotten Password policy for user .... Please check your tree, username and context."
This isn't too surprising as we've never set up such a policy. Can anyone tell me where/how I do so?

Isn't it part of "Password Self-Service?" And wasn't "Password Self-Service" first implemented in Virtual Office? And isn't this new feature of the Novell Client an extension of that process to include the thick client as well as via the VO portal?
If you look, I didn't say it was "the same thing as" Virtual Office, did I?

Sorry for the delay in responding on this - been away from the office for a few days over Easter.
Thanks to ShineOn and alextoft for their suggestions. I had a look at the Forgotten Password Policy setup, but decided that in our small office it's hardly necessary so have disabled the link in Client32 settings as both of you suggested.
ShineOn was the first to reply with that suggestion, but alextoft did also supply the link to instructions on setting up the policy (even though I decided not to implement this) so it seems fairest to share the points.
