Ha!!!  Got it working on the ones on an internal
network!  By using the -A option, and giving it the
DNS name of the fileserver, it works!

I'll let you know if it works from my 2.2.0.19 package
when I get around to fixing that symlink.

Question for you though:  would it be OK for me to
have it install ncpmount and ncpumount SUID root since
that's the only way they're useful?

Thanks!
