Client Support "Novell NetWare "

Client Support  

Novell supports a wide range of diverse clients. To facilitate this, Novell developed client software that allows many client operating systems to take advantage of all NetWare features. Specifically,
Novell’s clients (sometimes called NDS clients) enable access to the NDS database. Even though some clients are included with various operating systems and the vendors themselves design them,
you should implement Novell’s client on the client operating systems you are running to get the most functionality out of NetWare—including being able to administer NetWare. The NetWare client written by Novell for a particular operating system provides full NDS functionality and is therefore the best choice for connecting that operating system to a NetWare network.
Table 5.1 lists the Novell clients that are available for NetWare and the special feature(s) of each.

NOTE:

There are NDS clients for UNIX, but the UNIX vendor usually develops them. One rare exception is UNIXWare, a product Novell developed several years ago. This rather cool version of UNIX has been completely integrated with NetWare.
