To share the files on the Netware server you will need support for NCP (ncpfs).
You will need to download the NCP filesystem utilities using the URL ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/ncpfs/ncpfs.tgz

1. You need to have ncpfs installed - it should come as an RPM with your distribution of linux. To see if it is or not, do an rpm -q ncpfs.
2. All you have to do then is configure your system for ipx and mount the drives etc. I found this link really helpful:

3. The different utilities that come with ncpfs will let you see servers, printers etc. do an rpm -ql ncpfs|grep bin/nw|more to list the commands. Use man to see how to use them.Regards,
Mike.
