OK, after much fiddling and a call to Novell support, NDS for LINUX (the
non-corporate edition that's the free trial on novell.com) will only allow
you to host a copy of your NDS tree on the LINUX box, allowing
authentication into the tree but NOT allowing mounting of resources on the
LINUX box (read: remote site login and dial-in for those not wishing to
spend the $ on more expensive solutions as per the support tech). If you get
the corporate e-directory, you get access to a mount, but I'm foggy on
whether it's NFS or something else. Both add the server as a server object
in the tree, and the corporate edition will allow you to control LINUX
accounts via NWADMIN, soon to migrate to Console1, and NDS Manager. The
documentation on Novell's site is thin for the LINUX version, but my guess
is that the Solaris stuff will shed a little light (for the curious). It
doesn't solve the issue I'm working on, so I moved on, but kudos to Novell
for what they've done! The installs are easy and straightforward. If
anything I've stated is incorrect, be nice.
