Netware users can connect to Linux three ways,
- use 'marsnw' netware daemon on Linux, emulates Netware 3.10
- use Calderas Netware on Linux, that costs money, normal Novell licences
- add Micro$oft networking to your Netware users and use Samba to connect
to Linux.
If they allready are Netware users I fail too see reason to mount Novell
volumes to Linux, unless you want to give Linux-Users access to Netware.
