Use pam_smb to allow authentication to happen using netbios,
specifying one of the netware boxes as the password server. You can
make this work for pop by tweaking /etc/pam.d/pop appropriately (and
/etc/pam.d/imap if you want to use that). That way you can have all
these user accounts on the linux box "passwordless" in /etc/shadow.
pam_smb can be found as a contrib rpm or a tarball source in most of
the usual places on the net. I've used it in the past quite
successfully for ftp/telnet/local logins, but not recently (and
never for pop/imap login authentication).
