There are two free software emulators for NetWare fileservers under
Linux. lwared was developed by Ales Dryak and
mars_nwe was developed by Martin Stover. Both of
these packages provide elementary NetWare fileserver emulation under
Linux, allowing NetWare clients to mount Linux directories exported as
NetWare volumes. While the lwared server is
simpler to configure, the mars_nwe server is
more fully featured. The installation and configuration of these packages is
beyond the scope of this chapter, but both are described in the
IPX-HOWTO.
