No, it doesn't. I was reading it last week. It's more about using Samba, and
including IPX support, than anything else.

Right; that's the filesystem (to be able to mount/unmount Netware formatted

same as NDS for Linux (which is a directory implementation, based on the
X.500 standard, I believe, with extensions).
