Just to let ye know some things: I was recently at Novell's tech Center in Dusseldorf for a NDS Advanced training and there I was told that Caldera is intregrating NDS for Caldera's Linux. As far other things, I am currently trying to get some documents of the floor for FreeBSD and Novell integrating as well as trying to port some code/make some code myself for NLSP and god knows what else that NetWare uses... Any help is offcourse always appreciated, that's what makes FreeBSD tick ;) For information, we deploy FreeBSD as firewalls/nameservers and for the rest we only use Novell NetWare (about 400-500 servers nationwide), almost all 4.11. So ye can see my interest at integration.
