NetWare: mount -t ncpfs NetWare_server_full_DNS_name_or_IP_address
A NetWare server full DNS name should have the format of mail2.provo.corporate.com. A
fully qualified username should have the format of Admin.Users.Corporate. A typical Linux
mount location would be /mnt.
You can also use Novell Remote Manager (NRM) to create the NCP mount.
Windows:
mount -t smbfs //Windows_server_name_or_IP_address/sharename
To use this command, the WINS protocol must be functioning properly on your network. The
specified Windows user must have sufficient rights to access the post office directory.
