Check to see if you have it installed...
Type in
# rpm -qa | grep ncpfs -
If you see a result I.E. ncpfs-2.2.0.16.a-2mdk, etc. You'll be able to mount
the Novell Server AFTER you configure IPX.
This can be done via nwserv.conf and Linuxconf. (enable IPX).
Note: Linuxconf might make using nwserv.conf redundant... but you might want
to go ahead and set up your Linux box as a Novell Server anyway...
Check to see if IPX is running...
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:04:36:65

Notice the IPX entries...
If you don't see this, try restarting the "Novell" services...
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mars-nwe restart
And browse your servers...
# slist

LAN 34AB2A8F 000000000001
Finally:
/usr/bin/ncpmount -S SERVERNAME -U USERNAME -P PASSWORD /mnt/nwserver
Will mount the Novell server "under" the directory called /mnt/nwserver
which you have created, previously...
