We have a Netware 6 server that is doing file sharing.
Netware 6 supposedly can work in SMB/CIFS, NFS and
AppleTalk protocols. Tomorrow our Novell consultant
will be attempting to get all this working, which
would allow my Linux box to connect via NFS, our Mac
users to connect via AppleTalk, and Windows clients to
connect without needing the Novell client installed on
their systems.
