ncpfs is only in the centosplus kernel I believe.  I also found it buggy 
and horribly slow.  Instead, consider running Novell's Native File 
Access (NFA) product on your Netware server and exporting your Netware 
volumes as NFS or SMB shares.  I don't think NFA is included with 
Netware 5.0 (though it might be a free dowload, not sure) but I know 6.x 
includes it.
