If you ever get hold of the Caldera Netware client and get it going 
would you let me know what you think of it??? I have posted several 
requests for help with Netware connectivity and have yet to get a 
response from anyone.

I d/l the Netware client for RedHat 5.1 but never got it going. Just 
this week I discovered the ncpfs utilities that come with RedHat and 
have been tinkering with them. I have been able to connect to a 
Netware 4.11 server, but only with an account that is in the 'root' 
level of the Netware tree (like Admin), and only from a RedHat system 
with the 2.0.35 kernel. I got hold of a newer rpm for ncpfs today and 
tried to get it going on the RH5.1 systems but it wouldn't fly 
because it said it needed glibc 2.1 or something. I am going to try 
getting that rpm on a RH6 system and see if that will let me connect. 
I think the Caldera distribution or at least the Caldera for linux 
package has a more robust support of NDS. I would think that they 
will be coming out with a new version of it sometime soon though 
because even that does not work with a Netware 5 server yet.
