Yes, you need to be using the CentOS Plus kernel and build the NCPFS
rpms from fedora so you can mount the volumes.

It also does not hurt to have IPX enabled on Netware & Linux ... we have
IPX enabled yet because we still use DOS and the old moldy 2.x client
still seems to work best for our use.

I can see if dig out the information on what I did for the one C4
station I setup

I definatly would like to see that info if you can find it.

The one question that I do have is what effect the move to the CentOS Plus kernel would have other than allowing us access to the ncpfs?  The users are power users that mostly maintain their own machines and handle their own updates.  What issues could come up by using the new kernel rather than the base one?

Thank you,
Rob
