This is also a thing I will run into in some months. What could work
is:

The Netware Server (4.01 in my case) can make some of its NDS Tree
available via LDAP. So a LDAP PAM module should be able to
authenticate the user.

(The export via LDAP part is something I've read. I didn't try it).

I just wonder if I can mount some directories on the NW4 Server
without the Caldera NW client. Otherwise I'll have to dynamically
create the homedirs or such some.
