The man pages and/or docs from the last version of ncpfs that I read about specified this as a specific limitation of the package. Search of NFS. The programmer gave some reason for this (which I don't recall -- but it was a technical problem for which he didn't have a suitable solution -- something about maintaining virtual inodes (and how netware doesn't have anything that corresponds to an inode)). > I have got in my exports file on linux > /dir (ro,insecure) > > For me it looks like, even though I do a NFS export of the NCPFS > filesystem, the NFS server on my linux box denies permission.

You could try the Caldera (I don't know it's behaviour WRT this) or you could look for an NFS NLM package (maybe some Netware hack has put together a (free|share)ware one -- or maybe Novell has lowered their prices on their's.
