Coming from a Netware environment, I'm still scratching my head as to why Novell can't seem to get itself sorted with a netware client for linux. Give me a simple login screen, which will run the login scripts, and mounts my novell resources just like it would in my netware/windows environment.

The answer to that, as I understand is, is that the Novell Client currently uses RSA technology to encrypt things. As Novell wants the client to go open source, they can't use RSA, so now they're doing wizardly things with Kerberos. However, this isn't something that you can do in a fortnight.
