I haven't done this in years however I'm copying a quick document I wrote
back when that might help.  This was when I worked on Netware 5.x servers
and RedHat 6.2 servers.  I believe you needed the nwserver_name in your host
table or DNS before this works properly.  

Hope this helps.

Mounting a NetWare Volume to Linux


This works great!! (yah... I said the same thing about the NT to Linux
mounting but it's true!!)


ncpmount -S nwserver_name -U username -b -A nwserver_name /mount_point

The above does the following

-S is the name of your nwserver

-U is your NDS username

-b turns on bindery emulation

-A does DNS (UDP MODE) IP name resolution... no support for SLP

/mount_point is where you want to mount your server volumes.


All the server volumes will be mounted under the single mount point. You can
specify a single volume if you like. Read the man page for ncpmount for
directions. Also there is a module available from Caldera which allows NDS
logins from Linux. I've been successful in compiling it and inserting the
module into my Kernel... how to use it? Who knows. I'm sure there is
documentation somewhere. (Caldera's site maybe???) I couldn't find it nor
was I terribly interested as I'm moving further and further away from
NetWare and more into Solaris / Linux.

-A is needed. Otherwise your talking IPX/SPX. I recommend creating DNS
entries though HOST tables worked just fine.

Hi All!
 
I've been "google-ing" for the past hour or so, but I cannot seem to find
anything on this.  I would like to be able to access my NetWare 5.x and 6.x
servers at work from my newly-Linixized laptop.  However, I have fully
removed IPX (IP-only) from our network at work, and I don't want to go back
and tell my LAN Admin to reinstall it.  Is there any way for me to mount my
NetWare shares onto my notebook?  I haven't had the client-less NetWare 6
configuration implemented yet (I'm still not quite satisifed with the
security) and I still have the vast majority of our servers running 5.1
(they don't have the resources to run 6 yet).
 
Thanks!
 
Cheers,
Mike
