NSS is now a Linux Filesystem type like EXT3 and Reiser.
It includes such wonderful things as Salvage, Rights Inheritance, and
hiding files you don't have access to (among many others).

OES (Open Enterprise Services) is the Novell Linux service providing the
Network Filesystem, and looks just like your NetWare servers would.

I've been out of the NetWare world since 5.1 but recently attended a
seminar on OES because we are looking at SuSE for Linux. I was duly
impressed. Although their marketshare has declined over the past few
years, their innovation and quality has not. Their Linux offerings should

be considered very thoroughly in my opinion.
