search turns up two netware emulation packages for Linux - lwared and mars_nwe - so my question is this: has anyone around these here parts used any or both of these apps with CentOS 3 or 4 and if so can I have any useful insight? I suppose the ultimate test would be to try them both but a head start would be aprpeciated.
I have used mars_nwe under Whitebox 3 (using the kernel-unsuppoted package) ... it works, but is not maintained, requires IPX (not supported under CentOS 4 without custom kernel) and the DOS NW admin tools. If you have a NW 3.12 server you should have the DOS management tools to get it working.
It's not terribly hard to get working with plenty of comments in the config file. We were going to use it to replace a DOS networking solution we were using after SAMBA and MS-CLIENT had stability problems but ended up scrapping both and keeping with what we were using (better the devil you know).
