How to mount Novell directory in Ubuntu

First you have to install ncpfs using apt-get:

[code language=”bash”]
sudo apt-get install ncpfs
[/code]

Then mount your novell directories using the following commands:

[code language=”bash”]
mkdir /media/novell
sudo chown <localuser>:<localgroup> /media/novell
sudo ncpmount -S <name-of-netware-server> -A <fully-qualified-name-of-server-or-ip-address> -U <novellusername-using-dot-notation> -u <localusername> -g <localgroup> -o nfsextras,symlinks,tcp,rw /media/novell -p cp850 -y utf8
[/code]

This will mount all of the volumes. If you wish to mount a specific volume use the -V option.
