Samba uses Server message Blocks (SMB ), to communicate with ms products.
The core file sharing protocol on ms products is SMB.
On Netware is Netware Core Protocol, or NCP. Thus you need the ncpfs package.
I had played with samba quite a bit in the past, and only recently set up
my first linux-netware connection.....easier than samba.
Good luck
