Yes Gerry is right there is no clean client for Linux. Just to to be clear though if you are an existing Netware 5.1 customer with upgrade protection you are entitled to Native File Access pack for free. Here is the snip taken from http://www.novell.com/products/nfa/pricing.html "Current NetWare 5.1 customers with upgrade protection/maintenance, will receive Novell Native File Access Pack free of charge through the normal upgrade process. For customers not paying upgrade protection on NetWare 5.1, Novell Native File Access Pack will cost $299 per server." If your just looking for secure authentication then you should be taking Gerry's advice and working to get secure LDAP up and running. Here are couple of TID's that should get you in the right direction in setting this up.
