NFS Gateway Vs Nterprise Linux Services

[cka...@monte.nsw.edu.au]

I don't know if this is the right forum, but I have 2 Netware 6.5 Servers
and 1 Linux Server. I would like to know what is the best way to get the
Linux server to been seen by the NetWare and NetStorage.

Nterprise Linux Services looks very nice but I am not using the correct
Linux for it. I am using Mandrake 9.2.
NFS 3.0 Gateway sounds like it could do the job because according to what
I have read it imports the NFS shares as a NSS volumes which then should
be picked up the Novell client and Netstorage.

Thanks.

NFS 3.0 Gateway is only for Nw5.1 and the one for 6.0 I think recently
got released
(http://www.novell.com/products/netware6/gateway/quicklook.html). The
version of NFS Gateway for NetWare 6.5 is think is in the pipline soon.
and if you are interested in beta testing it, let us know.

One more option is using NFAU on NetWare and using NetWare storage and
using the NFS Client on Linux to mount this and share the files.

Regards,
Madhan.

Thanks.

I wouldn't mide beta testing NFS Gateway for NetWare 6.5 when it is
available.

Does NFS Gateway still require IPX or can it work with just Pure IP. THE
NFAU option will not work for Netstoage I don't think. I am trying to not
use any Novell clients on linux.

Check periodically at beta.novell.com to see if it's available to play
with.

??? To my knowledge, NFS Gateway has always been an IP product. Maybe
you were thinking of NetWare/IP? In any event, yse NFS Gateway works
with IP only.
