[OpenAFS] Re: AFS access rights and novell printer queues

[Frank J. Cameron]

You might investigate one of these client pieces instead of nprint.  I
haven't used either of these.

From: NETWORK WORLD NEWSLETTER: DAVE KEARNS on NOVELL NETWARE 10/08/02

    The SCO Group, formerly Caldera, has a product called "NetWare for 
    Linux" which includes a Linux client for the NetWare network (see: 
    http://www.caldera.com/support/docs/openlinux/netware/utilities/). 
    This is a full-featured NetWare client. While not 100% identical 
    to the latest versions of Novell's NetWare clients for the Windows 
    platforms, it's close to 98% feature complete (I haven't actually 
    discovered a feature that's missing, but I'm told that there are 
    some).

    While the SCO client is intended primarily for SCO's OpenLinux 
    distribution, there's a more generic Linux client, also. It's called
    the "Now-well" Client for Linux and was developed by Erwin Preuner. 
    It's available at http://now-well.sourceforge.net/linux/now-well/
    but [disclaimer] I haven't tried it so I've no information as to 
    its ease of use or reliability. As always, try this in the lab 
    first.
