Of course, this means you are doing ncp over IP, rather than over IPX. If you *really* want to use IPX, you would need some sort of ipx routing on your NAT machine (ipxripd apparently works quite well). In fact, I haven't used IPX since I haven't bothered to setup IPX routing on our firewall, so I use (when I *really* have to) ncp over IP. > > 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? The samba package has done this with smbmnt and smbumount for quite a while ... of course, usually netware servers are not as common, so it may be more worthwhile to setup pam_mount, but I am not sure if you can pass the '-A hostname' option via pam_mount.
