Netware 6.5 and linux
- Thread starter graver
- Start date
Am I reading this right? You want your NetWare server to access a Linux mount point and host it as a NetWare volume?
Or do you want a Linux server / workstation to access a NetWare volume?

netware only speaks NSS and TFS.
hmm, unless the NFS addons...
this is the great next debate anyways:
whether Jeff Merkey's hard work will be thrown away
as file systems become so irrelavant that everything
except NTFS will be OSS.
why would anyone WANT a slow efs2/efs3/reiser4 on a fast netware server? should be the other way around me thinks.
move the files to Netware and install the linux client...
perhaps you need the NFS or iSCSI packages as these are
the only way to host a remote partition on NW.
I mean are the MAC people formatting FAT32?

Well I know you can mount a NetWare volume into the Linux filesystem, but the other way around? Don't know of such a product, would be interesting, but I doubt there is much of a demand for such a thing. Please do follow up with a post if you find somthing that will do this.
My idea; sync your user names and passwords using somthing like Nsure Identity Manager (aka; DirXML), then load the SMB client on your workstations and map a drive directly to your workstations.
Or, again, sync the users, but instead of users going to the NetWare box for authentication, have them go to the linux box. Activate NFS on the NetWare servers and have the client access it like it's another linux box.
