If you're an instituion of education like us, chances are real good you have PowerBooks and other Mac hardware desiring access to your NetWare/OES servers. It turns out I missed something while at BrainShare. OES2-Linux does NOT have an eDir integrated AFP stack like NetWare does. Whoa.

That's Jason Williams posting, and he is the Project Manager to OES. I spoke with him for a while during Meet the Experts regarding the concurrency concerns we have with OES in general. He has been on Novell Open Audio several times, so I know his voice. He was run downright ragged during BrainShare, which is very not surprising due to his level of oversight of a major product.
He's asking for people who need AFP to talk to them about it. The details of what he's looking for is in the posting I linked above. I've sent in my own impressions, and I've forwareded it to internal people who are Very Concerned about how Mac interacts with our NetWare servers.

This actually was one of the things that kept me from being able to use OES at my current job. I had several critical Mac clients and could never get them connected well enough within my eval time so had to go with ((shudder)) Windows 2003 Server. It was a huge embarassment to a Novel zealot like me to admit defeat.
