I've used sharity to connect to NT shares and it works really well, but I need to connect to a Novell share. Does anyone know what is the best way to do so ?

I would prefer not to expose the box to as much as possible, as I will (most likely) have to put this on the production box. I would prefer something like sharity, as I can start it up, process some Novell files, then close it down - in a matter of seconds.

Any ideas ?
 
I used to use the NFS package on my Novell 3.1 server.
I have 5.1 and NFS did not work.
so -
I set up a cron job running ftp scripts -
every minute I grab stuff off a directory on novell
and drop it on my sun box, and grab stuff from a
directory on my sun box and drop it on the novell.
novell server has a "fromunix" and "tounix" directory,
sun box has "tonovell" and "fromnovell" directory.
I admit it is kludgey, but it has sufficed for 13 months now. hopefully novell 6 will have fully developed NFS
client available.
