NetWare is great for an enterprise where directory enabled management is a
requirement. And it is bullet-proof secure and 24/7 reliable if setup correctly.
(Most NOS's are with a couple of exceptions. :) I work for a school system, and I
can't imagine managing accounts on multiple servers without NDS.
NDS is at version 8.x, whereas AD is at 1.0. And you don't need NetWare to have NDS.
It runs on NT, 2000, Solaris, and Linux too. There's an LDAP server for NetWare that
seems (so far) to work good too. I'm interacting with it from a PHP script with no
problems at all.
Someone has tried porting PHP to NetWare as recently as this past April. I emailed
him this morning and await a reply. Since there seems to be no NetWare port of PHP
yet, I think it would be great to get it started as a new open source project.

I agree, I've had it at work and I hated it. I love my SuSE box at home.
What more security do you need than Linux?
