Is there anything in mind right now ? I can just think of the following: 1) Routing Netware networks. This should be made by a daemon with suport for SAP also. Maybe, NLSP, which is turning to be the recommended routing option. 2) Mounting NetWare disks. This is really a problem. How to convert unix users to netware users ? Should one mount with just one netware user and show unix users all files as root owned ? The other option would be to use one IPX socket for EACH unix user, and would require a much more complex daemon/kernel. 3) Print Services. A netware aware lpd would be useful. Most important: Should be one which could print from Unix to Netware AND vice-versa.
